Oh no.
What company could actually afford to buy it other than Google, Meta, or Amazon? Unless they are forced to sell it at a loss, which is fine with me.
Oracle, sun, tencent, tita...
Elon Musk
By "sell," they could also mean ending up having Chrome just split off from Google, as a new, independent entity that is its own company, without anybody needing to buy it in the first place.
The judge would immediately shut that down for creative avoidance. This is an order to sell, not break up. The DOJ specifically indicated behavioural remedies in this case, meaning Google must not remain in control of Chrome.
How exactly is this company going to make any money?
I assume by continuing to sell data.
Sell it to me, I'll buy it for one dollar.
I'll go treefitty
They should force google to kick sundar, the harmful thing, what made all google software, and services shit since it is the ceo...
If you think Sundar is bad, just wait to see who Wall Street picks to replace him.
This is the last antitrust win we'll get for years, isn't it?
I know Trump doesn't like Big Tech, but I doubt his admin will punish them meaningfully, but just rail about censorship.
Our govt is pay for play at this point, I struggle to see anything like this going through, especially so close to a new AG appointment.
This isn't a win I think. They are yet to meet in the court with Google.
The DOJ will file a revised version of its proposals in early March, before the government and Google return to the DC District Court in April for a two-week remedies trial.
I keep saying this. In 2 months all this antitrust stuff goes out the window. If people actually bothered to show up on 11/5 Kahn and co could actually get some wins for the American people. Instead, we're going to get more monopolies shoved down our throats.

sell it to Microsoft so they can finally have a web browser that people use
Yes, the anti-trust lawsuit should culminate in one part of a tech giant being sold to another tech giant.
what else would happen
Microsoft run Chrome clone? But they already have Edge
Which no one willingly uses
Unless you're at a company using Microsoft services, where you have no choice, other than chrome (at my company), which hot take, is worse than edge.
it was good at launch, but they've added so much bloat
