Both Chrome and Firefox are basically cooked, aren't they?

Chrome coz it won't belong to Google anymore and whoever ends up acquiring it will probably have no interest in making a good free browser. (Google was only doing it because it gives them control over ad tech and whatnot.)

And Firefox because Mozilla will go bankrupt as Google won't be allowed to bribe them to be the default search engine any more, which was Mozilla's main source of income.

I really wanna know where this will lead us. Maybe web standards will finally go back to serving people rather than companies? People will go back to using free browsers, made by devs who only care about making a good browser, so web standards will have to follow suit and serve the interest of the people?

Or maybe I'm overly optimistic. But I've no idea what other possibilities there are. Most people won't be interested in paying money for a good browser. They'll either use whatever their OS ships, or they'll install some power-user browser made by and for the people.
