My ideal outcome would be something like:
1) Chrome is spun out as a standalone entity. Google would originally have full ownership but be forced to sell down over time.
2) Google buys the Chrome traffic at a fair price
3) Apple sells their traffic to someone else, potentially an AI search player (Meta??)
4) MSFT makes a new browser in response to Chrome going closed source
- Wytwwww 2y ago> 4) MSFT makes a new browser in response to Chrome going closed source Why would they? They can just continue why Chromium/Edge. Presumably the new standalone entity be able to invest as much into Google or even MS.
- cheriot 2y agoIf Apple, Mozilla, and a stand alone Chrome sell search traffic at the fair market price and Google pays the highest price (because they have the best monetization) we're back where we started.
- alt227 2y ago> MSFT makes a new browser in response to Chrome going closed source Really? Another one after IE, Native Edge, and Chromium Edge? I dont think they really need another one.
- throwawaythekey 2y agoI thought native edge was pretty good, it was disappointing when they gave it up. Call me old fashioned but I think browsers will advance faster when we don't have a chromium monopoly outside of the apple ecosystem.
