Why do most browser companies opt for a Chromium/Blink base instead of a Firefox/Gecko one? (lemm.ee)

I mean, I like Firefox, but I'd love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There's Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it's more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y'all for your answers. :D

Chrome and its derivatives are by far the most popular browsers, it's simply easier to go with the most common for maximum compatibility.

And that's the problem. It gives full control power to Google. That's the reason that popularity needs to be broken.

Yep, hence why I don't use Google browsers.
