>> Do you really want to go back to the days of Microsoft controlling the browser? Or Apple?

I don’t see your point—are you advocating for Google? Why would selling Chrome automatically elevate Safari or Edge to the top? I highly doubt Microsoft, Apple, or Mozilla would be permitted to acquire Chrome anyway.

That said, while Chrome is undoubtedly a good product, let’s not forget: this is a company that owns the largest search engine, operates one of the biggest advertising platforms and provides the most popular browser. Plus Google Analytics, GMail and whatnot product I forgot from this network.

In what world is that not a inter-disciplinary monopoly that needs to be broken up?

>I don’t see your point—are you advocating for Google?

Are you advocating for going back to the days of IE6? It seems like you are.

>I highly doubt Microsoft, Apple, or Mozilla would be permitted to acquire Chrome anyway.

So Chrome will go out of business then, in this scenario.
