Google funds Mozilla, And nearly all non-firefox browsers are chromium based, which means google gets to set the standards of the web.

Android is a similar story, many forks may have removed google from the equation, but google makes a decision regarding android, and it will shake all forks downstream from it.

The others really aren't that concerning because there are real alternatives to them.

But Google's AdSense might be the one that gets them in the end.
