Regardless, don’t use chrome.

If Mozilla does become defunct, it does raise the question of whether Chrome would be considered a Google monopoly, and therefore subject to antitrust legislation.

I can't imagine any governments would look kindly upon internet access being guarded behind a single company's product.

The firefox browser could exist without quite a lot Mozilla does. A large chunk of its cash isn’t spent on the browser.
