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

    should a third-party acquire control over chrome’s development, mv3 gets shredded. restrictions and limitations on adblockers get scaled-back or reverted outright.

    That is far too optimistic. If the courts force a sale then a for profit company will but it expecting a return on investment. Which very likely means more monetisation efforts like embedding ads or even more tracking built into it. It is a fantasy to think who ever gets it will scale anything you dislike about it back.

      I’d be interested in what restrictions are between those two companies, because it seems to me like there’d be a lot of money in making Chrome what Google wants it to be.

      I’m already out. Linux desktop, Firefox browser. It’s enough for me. Fuck MS, fuck Google, fuck Apple.
