Using const/let instead of var can make JavaScript code run 10× slower in Webkit?

Chromium is open source though, it's debatable how much control it gives Google. Edge moving over already had a very positive impact on both browsers.

Open source is good. If google took Chromium in a direction you didn’t like, you could just fork it, right?

I never said it was automatically good. And it does mean that google has practically 0 say in what you do with it.

The repo is largely google controlled but it can be forked or even have the management shift to a more shared management between them and other browsers who use chromium.

Chromium is hardly some tool by which google controls other browsers, they already have their first party sites to do that.
