Google already funds Firefox and makes Chromium[0] as well, which seems like quite a lot of effort to go to as a single company in funding/enabling competition. Microsoft had to do far less to resolve their EU dispute: just give users other options for browsers on install of their OS.
[0] Unless if today you take Chromium and make your own browser, and it still has all the stuff in about logins and tracking.
When the DOJ asks to split off Chrome from Google, I presume that meant/included Chromium as well. They're basically the same thing.
Why would Google continue to fund Chromium development without Chrome?
I wasn't saying they would or should. I'm saying they already do more than anyone else to promote competition of their browser.
