That's the problem. Google is working so that there's not going to be a next thing.
That is concerning, but Internet Explorer used to be the only option too. Of course things are different now, but I have faith (for lack of anything else).
That was for a different reason, though. That was Microsoft forcing you to use their software on something you owned. A website can say, "you have to use chrome to access our site," and that's not antitrust behavior on the part of Google.
There always is a next thing. It's called Gemini and it has the problem of guys like Google fixed by having a non-extensible standard.
I'm not joking, too - sometimes even wide masses become practical and just want "no bullshit" Internet publishing. Which Gemini delivers.
But - would be interesting to have something like Gemini, but serverless.
