It really won't, but I wish it would.
You’re right that it won’t. I will say that I switched from Firefox to chrome when it was still in beta (nobody I talk to ever remembers the “goats teleported” metric). Chrome was way faster. It didn’t handle memory well, but it was the best for me for a long time. The extensions were great.
I just downloaded Firefox on all my devices and I’ve been happy so far. Not as fast as chrome or edge, but gets me closer to leaving google.
I've been using Firefox since before they released their "Quantum" update, thankfully, and it's been quite good for me since then. Still though, we're going to need way more people switching to make a dent in Chromium - if it's even possible at this point.
It's also difficult to 'leave' chromium when many of the alternative browsers are based on the engine.
I love Vivaldi, but at it's cute it's running the Google web engine. This is also going to be part of the problem.
There are very few non-Google web engines, and even fewer being used by other browser makers.
