Don't blame Oracle for this. Page/Pichai sign off on these plans.

  I highly doubt this decision went all the way up to Page or Pichai.

    I would be surprised if, given the antitrust sensitivity around chrome, these decisions aren't being approved at a very high level.

      That would ruin their plausible deniability.

        My experience from other organizations: * Corruption runs to the top. * The top is very careful to communicate verbally, through implications, or otherwise. Dunno about Google.

        They've already been sued! Lawsuits already claims that chrome, with eg 60% US marketshare, is used as a distribution channel for google! Any plausible deniability they have had is gone, and lawyers are in the loop for all sorts of decisions now. Not least because having counsel on a thread can help prevent that discussion from being subpoenaed.

    Ultimately the buck stops there, regardless of whether they were directly responsible. If this happened it’s because they built or facilitated a culture that does these things.
