  Does Chrome have ad/malware blocking or DLP (for which companies currently use expensive middleboxes that break TLS and can cause problems)? The point isn’t that they would pay for a Chrome equivalent, it’s that they would pay for something better than Chrome which Google won’t replicate as it’s against their entire business model. The amount of money companies spend on various security products (some of which are dubious) suggests there's definitely an appetite for security and doing so at the browser level makes sense and could be a successful strategy.

    Firefox already have better ad/malware blocking today and companies are not using it since they can just use middleboxes to do that in a central location without then having to worry about each computer configuration. If companies wanted to go to that route they can do it today for free, and they are not doing it, so changing firefox from free to charge for enterprise stuff will not help in any way.. also, google will not replicate the ad/malware blocking capacities from firefox because they are the leaders. not firefox.. If ever chrome marketshare goes down to below 5% and firefox rise to chrome position above 60% then i bet that google will be willing to do better ad/malware blocking if that means changing the game..
