Traditionally, the internet has specialised in difficult things ;-) >From your link:

At it's heart, Chrome was always a cynical ploy to insinuate Google's services into the fabric of the web and, even though we knew it, we accepted it because it was so shiny and fast. I'm still in awe of what Google have been able to achieve as a company, especially what they did for the early web, but most reasonable people can see it's gone too far at this point. They literally own a slice through the whole stack, from fibre-connections to javascript frameworks. The temptation to start being evil must be quite strong at this point. They, along with Apple, have Firefox essentially locked out of the mobile space at the moment, though interestingly the article also points out that: "Samsung, LG and Alibaba offer their own web browsers for mobile devices, > but they are based on WebKit, not Mozilla’s Gecko engine" These companies, and others, might well reconsider their options now that that the best choice on many metrics is Quantum. We'll see. Even if Firefox remains locked out of the growing mobile sector, there's no reason not to expect them to increase their share on the desktop over the next 12 months.
