What would that even mean? Anyone can fork Chromium and do whatever they want including establishing a non-profit foundation to finance its development.

Should Google be banned from forking an open source project and/or just developing any type of browser at all?

The only reason Google "controls" Chromium is that they are spending the most money/development time on it.

Yes, Google can be forced to sign a consent decree saying it will not engage in browser building or distribution for a set length of time and the DOJ can set up offices inside of Google and staff them with DOJ employees who make sure Google follows that agreement.

It seems like you have no familiarity with any of this. If so, happy to help educate you. If I'm wrong and you're just trolling, it was hard to tell.
