    “It would strike me as an over-ask,” said Kevin Walkush at Jensen Investment Management, which holds Google stock and is skeptical a Chrome divestiture will happen.

    So maybe not the best guy to be asking.

    Given that even Mozilla (who has significantly less resources than Google) had the ability to create a second web engine and then abandon it, it would be dumb to think that Google doesn’t have at least 2 or 3 teams working on different browsers or engines for no reason.

    Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

      I guess it wouldn’t be terrible if they made another browser then there might be three half decent browser engines to chose from: Firefox, old chromium and new chromium (probably called something else)

    Google does not yet have to sell chrome. Many titles of articles are misleading.

    I don’t like google owning chrome but if they’d force google to sell it and not apple or microsoft to sell theirs, I’d be against it. It would only harm google and deter competition
