Who do you sell _Google_ Chrome to? This seems ill-advised. Who could possibly run it? Oracle? Broadcom? Is Elon Musk going to buy it and then we'll have X Brow

None of these options seem likely to create anything better than what we have now.
On the upshot, Firefox is going to see a resurgence. Hey, maybe Mozilla buys it?

- jacobp100 2y agoThe exact opposite. Mozilla is no longer allowed to receive a payment from Google to be the default search engine, and that payment was 90% of their revenue
- red016 2y agoGoogle destroyed Mozilla by giving them free money until they became lazy and incompetent.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoIs that kind of the point? Chrome makes no business sense if it weren't for the anticompetitive edge it provides.
- JimDabell 2y ago> Other remedies the government is asking the court to impose include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties — including Apple and other phone-makers — to make Google’s search engine the default If this happens, Mozilla is going to be fighting for survival, it’s not going to be in a position to make acquisitions.
- LightHugger 2y agoThe point of antitrust action is exactly this, to destroy noncompetitive business models like chrome and allow true competition to thrive between actors in a free market. Given that you do not seem to understand the core point of antitrust i'm not sure you're in a position to judge it as ill advised.
