Outside of WebUSB I personally haven't meaningfully been impacted in any ways. Can you share which ways this is?

Note, this is separate from a "so many things are just Chromium", which I agree is an issue, but isn't the same as a "Google Chrome is a monopoly". Because in the end there are still many non-Chrome browsers which support WebUSB which do not end up with a lot of the downsides of Chrome specifically about Google harvesting your data and what not.

Ah, the "this doesn't fit my very specific technicality argument"

You know full well what people mean when they say "Chrome"

Do you actually think the majority of everyone else is being just as pedantic (or cares) about Google Chrome vs chromium-based?

For most, for the purposes of market share (the type of "monopoly" I believe they are referring to), I think they count it as one and the same.
