It says the government is asking for far too much.

Google is offering a far more pared-down solution to the court’s ruling that it illegally monopolized search

    Any company can do that. That’s why it’s more important to have new browsers (THAT AREN’T CHROMIUM, LOOKING AT YOU EDGE) for competition. Making a company sell the browser used by the majority of people is absolutely not the answer. That’s gambling.

        With the expected costs of a web browser by the general public being $0, what company would want it that isn’t going to do that? Even Firefox survives off ad revenue. There is no “browser market”, there’s an ad market.

        I’d also imagine Google won’t be prevented from owning a browser indefinitely - if it’s still worth it they’ll create a new browser and try to recapture the market, further diversifying the market.

      Gambling? LOL.

      The normal solution to a monopoly is forced breakup and divesture. Why does Google deserve to be above the law?
