Google already funds Firefox and makes Chromium[0] as well, which seems like quite a lot of effort to go to as a single company in funding/enabling competition.

Google already funds Firefox and makes Chromium[0] as well, which seems like quite a lot of effort to go to as a single company in funding/enabling competition. Microsoft had to do far less to resolve their EU dispute: just give users other options for browsers on install of their OS.
[0] Unless if today you take Chromium and make your own browser, and it still has all the stuff in about logins and tracking.
- madeofpalk 2y agoWhen the DOJ asks to split off Chrome from Google, I presume that meant/included Chromium as well. They're basically the same thing. Why would Google continue to fund Chromium development without Chrome?
- robertlagrant 2y agoI wasn't saying they would or should. I'm saying they already do more than anyone else to promote competition of their browser.
