This is great news.

Chrome is the most sophisticated and awesome software ever built, next to Linux. It leads and drives web innovation.

Don’t get me wrong - my main drive is Firefox but googles investment in Chrome benefits every single player in the internet.

Heh. I will make a quick prediction. If you think generic HN-crowd opinion of Google was low today, I can now basically guarantee you that it will be much, much lower a year from now based on nothing other than Google's behavior prior to this ruling ( effectively barring side loading for most users ). Now all bets are off. So is it great news? For investors? Yes. For everyone else, mmmmmm, nop.

Edit: I am ignoring your point, because I honestly can't take it seriously.
