That really does not come as a surprise and that was totally expected. [0] As soon as Chrome started to become more of a platform (for their extension API) with many other companies using it in their own browsers, it tells you why they had >90% of the search market for years.
This is what the folks at Google have all feared and why they started to run away from the company, spurring up 'Google' competitors (including Microsoft & OpenAI) all bringing it down.
Google will appeal and fight back and either way will survive. But we have given Sundar enough time to turn it around and it's time for him to leave and a wartime CEO to step up.
It's possible as Sataya Nadella did this for Microsoft. Google needs to do the same.
Who would buy Chrome and why would they buy it? And why would they be trusted to not do something nefarious?
I’m guessing Meta would like to buy it. Probably for nefarious data sucking reasons tho
Anyone with a search engine or equivalent product to sell that is not a monopoly.
You really like making predictions about the future
Yes I do. Usually they turn out to be true. [0]
