Okay. But google controls chromium, and everything that goes in it. And they're using that control to change how the internet works. So just saying that "chromium is a problem" can be considered a useful shorthand so you don't have to explain that every time.

Photoshop isn't a bad product but adobe sucks

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but I think you might be missing the point. Google is using chromium's ubiquity to exert control over how the internet works. Chromium being so ubiquitous makes it so web servers can lock out other web browsers.

If you want the entire internet to work like an adobe product, where one company has absolute control over it, then yeah your analogy works. But the whole point is people don't want that.

What I mean is that chromium (essentially) has a monopoly on browser market share, similar with Photoshop. I don't mean it's a good thing when it's like that, but it doesn't make them bad products
