>> 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?

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.
