There is really only three browsers webkit (safari/apple), blink (chrome/Google) , and gecko (firefox/Mozilla) . Pretty much everything is running on one of those three and if Google has to seel chrome, I'm not sure if that would help the landscape. Building/maintinaing browsers is really hard and expensive, most likely you'd just have another big tech company step in making things worse.
