Who would like to own the #1 most popular browser in the world?

How is that even a question. It's worth billions. User data, ability to inject ads, ability to drive the future of web and web-based apps.

It’s an open source project that can be forked - especially when google is not behind it to protect the market share, with users that don’t expect to pay and microsoft also involved with their own version.

Currently it’s probably worth bilingual because Google owns it. I expect it to rapidly lose value should that change.
