"We agree with the DOJ. A hollow win that leaves Google’s monopoly intact is not beneficial to either US consumers or businesses, and Google’s counter-proposals will not fix the underlying problem: that Google held and has abused its monopoly in search.
However, we’re concerned that if the DOJ goes too far, particularly by forcing a sale of Chrome and banning search deals with smaller browser vendors like Mozilla, it will do lasting harm to the web platform."
And then they go on to quote totally inept and zero people (like the simple idiots who created react) doing virtual fellatio saying the web will be dead without Google owning Chrome :DDDD. Trying to reassure readers this is the way to go.
LASTING HARM! What lasting harm? That utterly useless features will finally not be implemented in Chrome. Maybe we finally get a browser that makes some improvements to... how we experience the web. Just look back at early Firefox and the innovations it introduced (and then removed) and then compare it to today's Google-fed Firefox and look in awe at the desert that surrounds today's browsers.
Finally, Firefox would cease to exist. Since they got money from Chrome, they did NOTHING. The same goes for the Chromium forks. Same shit, repackaged. Time for them to go.
I'm sure the DOJ ruling will be a nothing burger, so nothing will really change, but these articles and all the stupid people who can't see today's realities are just ridiculous.
