Like Huawei.
And they were advertising job positions for porting Chromium with experience in AOSP, FirefoxOS and Tizen.

And the natural balance is restored to the universe
Mind you, I am not against closed source per se like some around here seem to be. To me, the two most important factors are functionality and trust. Does the code perform its function? Does it perform it well? I have to say that commercial software generally wins in this area, especially in the consumer application domain. Most open-source applications suck big time. Not so much the low-level stuff where the score is closer to 50/50. Perhaps even 51/49 in favour of open source.
Regarding the trust, the availability of the source code is a factor but not the only one and not even the biggest one. We have all heard the many eyes argument but we (should) also realize that it is a fallacy.
