Actually not. Punishing the smaller company while allowing big company to run amok is essentially making things even worse.

  > smaller company That's a weirdly specific way to label the 5th largest public company on the planet, by market cap. ... yes, it is smaller than the 2nd largest public company.

    2nd one has screwed over consumers in the past and continues to screw over consumers. Can you even buy MS office any more or do you have to rent it now? What’s with putting ads in the software you purchased?

    It's not just apple, basically every company that is bigger than google is going to benefit from this. Apple, Microsoft, even Nvidia is getting their only real competitor and the biggest company that isn't dependent on them (google TPUs) kneecapped.

      I look forward to running my searches through Saudi Aramco.

        You joke, yet a Saudi PIF company will probably try to buy Chrome if Google is forced to sell it.

          It does make one wonder if "sell Chrome" is the opening offer and "place Chrome in a multi-party foundation" might be the eventual compromise.
