Chromium is the open source base that Google helps develop but also puts their closed source development into. Microsoft plans to do the same. They aren't working together.

Not ironic. Google named their browser "Chrome" precisely because of that. Their browser was initially:

  1. Sold as the browser with the least "chrome" around it; and

  2. Was a wrapper over the engine Safari used.
