Yeah, they should be forced to split Chrome into a separate business and stay out of the browser business permanently. Anything short of that either won't help

- pydry 2mo agoChrome isnt viable as a separate business. Its entire function is to be a loss leader / feeder for search. Google should still be split, but along lines which are cohesive, financially viable and would level the playing field for competition, e.g. - google workspaces / gmail / maps / search / chrome / youtube - search index / cloud / datacenters - youtube - android
- TheCoelacanth 2mo agoBrowsers would work as a separate business if we stopped the anti-competitive practice of giving them away for free as a way to prevent competition in your other lines of business.

- concinds 2mo ago> split Chrome into a separate business Bought by whom? Another monopolist bigcorp that surely won't care to monetize it? That is not how you reason about antitrust issues.
- TheCoelacanth 2mo agoNot sell it. Split it into a separate business. Every share of Google turns into one share of Google and one share of Chrome.
