Putting trust into Blink remaining what it is today is a mistake. First it was about standards — Microsoft made a browser engine that was more or less standards compliant, Google started introducing changes to YouTube than made other browsers that don't do things exactly how Blink does perform poorly. They pretended that they like extensions and that it would always remain this way until everyone started using ad blockers and now they have introduced breaking changes under the guise of caring for privacy. It seems to me that introducing changes that would make it impossible (you just won't have the resources to cut through all the Google bullshit) to adopt Blink in your code unless you copy it bit by bit and get everything that comes with it are right behind the corner.
People should never put their trust into any technology that comes out of Google, even if on the surface it doesn't look that bad. This company has demonstrated numerous times that eventually you will be fucked over, it's only a matter of time.
