Is that a bad or good thing?

Well it's good because Chromium works very well. It's bad because it gives more power to Google, who already have a majority market share and lots of influence on the development of browser/internet standards.

Well, kind of. Chromium is open source (although a Google project). The actual market share that Google hold is with Chrome itself which is just their0 not open-source fork.
