If there is any change, it's only in Debian and Ubuntu packaging removing nonfree parts. We should check the licenses and sources of remaining files, maybe it's already free in parent distros, or needs small changes.
This will leave two issues that other browsers had: recommendation of nonfree addons/plugins and user tracking (e.g. integration with Google services). Some patches are needed for this, and it's what free distros needed for Firefox-based browsers too. Free distros don't have many developers and they already have much to do without fixing another browser. Can you help?
