Google Chrome is explicitly one of the things Alphabet are listed as a gatekeeper on, with an explicit decision: https://digital-markets-act-cases.ec.europa.eu/cases/DMA.100...
So I don't see how an independent Chrome would be much different.
Chrome is designated a Core Platform Service, Alphabet is the gatekeeper. If Chrome is independent, it could only be designated a gatekeeper if it has an annual turnover of 7.5 billion Eur in the EU. In which case it is definitely economically viable.
