If the remedy doesn't forbid them from creating Ghrome tomorrow, and for many years after, then the remedy is seriously flawed. Somehow I doubt that all the people at DOJ working on this lacked your insights and failed to consider that outcome.
Why should the remedy prevent them creating a new product and start again from zero? If people choose to install and use it - like they did for chrome - then that is not monopolistic behaviour, it is people making a choice.
Is this about breaking Google from a popular browser, or just about punishing Google for offering services people find useful?
It feels to me that it is more about punishing Google than about chrome. Apple and Microsoft seem to be able to get away with wat worse with their browsers - literally every time i use my win11 laptop it is nagging me to use edge or warn me that I should change my default browser to use edge or whatever. Apple won't even let you use another browser at all. But that is somehow fine and allowed?
