On the one hand you're positing that Chrome can just live on independently from Google. That 's what "anyone can fork" means to me. Forking is not just copying

On the one hand you're positing that Chrome can just live on independently from Google. That 's what "anyone can fork" means to me. Forking is not just copying the code, but maintaining the project and keeping it relevant
On the other hand you worry that Chrome can't go on without Google, as it currently doesn't bring enough money and needs to be a market abuse tool to justify the costs.
In a very real way, I think if the situation is unsolvable letting Chrome die and be born again could be the only long term solution. It would be painful, but we're already bleeding.
- guywithahat 2y agoSure, but there’s a difference between Brave existing as its own company and the government forcibly coming in and breaking up a company. I think it’s good for the market that some players are fully independent, and others are part of massive conglomerates.
- makeitdouble 2y agoYou seem to be disagreeing that what Google does is problematic, let alone illegal in the first place ? I can see it as an opinion, but that changes the whole discussion IMHO.
