Our plan is to continue working in Chromium rather than creating a parallel project. We've also started making contributions back to Chromium in areas like accessibility, touch, ARM64 and others. We've adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge to create better web compatibility for our customers, and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers.
