Chrome exists entirely as a power play. For a while, it aligned pretty well for consumers to get a browser that was produced by their search engine. However, it really only exists because google wanted direct control over their main medium.
- slowmovintarget 1y agoYes, and it would be the same reason OpenAI would be interested. They'd get to control the client. One more step, sama, and you too can have an advertising company.
