To explain my previous comment then since it was asked...
I don't see the web the same as I see operating systems. Linux / Windows you have to specifically install and set up on your systems (or buy pre-installed, whatever). The web is just...there, already set up and your system goes and looks it up. I'm simplifying for the comment, I know the web itself runs on different systems, I'm speaking for the end-user and for web-developers.
Having one main web "system" (browser in this case) that everyone tests against and builds against, to me, is just better than having to go and test the same thing across many different browser engines. Again, I don't see it like I see the desktop OS, because that's your device in your hands.
And now, having Chromium be a little less "just Google" with actual support for others getting involved - this is better for everyone in the end. We all want to rely on Google less for various reasons, this is a step in the right direction for that.
Oh, and every-time i use Firefox, I always end up going back to Chrome. I just never have a good experience with Firefox personally. Plus, I've never subscribed to the thought of just having to support something (Firefox in this case) because it's smaller. Both Firefox and Chromium are open source.
I love Thunderbird, I find it useful, but I think Mozilla have been completely useless with Firefox for a long time.

I get it, people want more Firefox everything, but Firefox has been on the decline forever at this point. Mozilla aren't helping themselves.
It makes way more sense for TLF to support Chromium, which at this point is practically the standard. Why would they jump into supporting a browser that has a less than 3% share. It's all open source, it's not like Chromium is somehow worse than Firefox in that regards.
This *should* be a net positive for everyone.

Hey, I might still have some hair left on my head before SteamOS general release. Lol.

Update: after publishing, Valve tweaked the quoted text. It originally said "we will be shipping a beta of SteamOS which should improve the experience on other devices" but they've now changed the ending to say "other handhelds".
Also quickly slotted in the one-liner Proton Experimental update for today.
