albeit n=1 sample size, but looking at firefox should give enough indication to what would become of chrome if it gets detached from google.

it is wishful thinking to assume that maintaining a dominant browser can be done if not through subsidizing through other means. as time has shown repeatedly that nobody wants to pay for this directly, it seems like any new ownership would resort to things that would ultimately ruin the browser for everyone.

maybe that is the goal all along, but it is hard to debate whether that is going to be a net positive.
