Google would legally separate Chrome into a foundation, retaining ultimate ownership and intellectual property rights and give Ecosia operational responsibility for 10 years, Ecosia said.

Eh... uhh... does Ecosia even have the ability to maintain such a large and complicated code base?

    Chromium is open source, so they'd only need to steward the Google parts of Chrome. I can't speak to the size of that codebase, but given that it's just the part that makes it shitty, and Google would no longer be in control, that could be significantly pruned.
