I'm wondering, will the big G be allowed to start another browser project, once they sell Chrome? Let's say Google Cobalt.
They'd fork the open source of Chrome and get to work. After a while, they'll start taking the market share (they can afford to hire back the whole team).
Couple of years later are we in the same position? Maybe, maybe not. I'm curious to see how it plays out.
- xbmcuser 1y agoI think they might start from scratch as this gives them the chance to nuke all the legacy code
- rienbdj 1y agoWould be ironic if Google make the a 100% Rust browser before Mozilla.

- cassianoleal 1y agoServo is a rendering engine with a pretty rough reference browser chrome around it. It's also not Mozilla's even though it started there.
- nottorp 1y agoI'm pretty sure Google can track you and push "standards" that mainly benefit them in any programming language.
- dieortin 1y agoAFAIK they would be forbidden from entering the browser market for some years
