Non profit under this US administration who’s mantra is what rules? Seems highly optimistic. I see it being more likely that Musk takes the opportunity to try and get the most popular browser and phone OS that is used world wide.
100% guaranteed Musk is going to try and wrangle a controlling share of Android. Probably Chrome too but definitely Android. He desperately wants to be in your pockets snooping on your text messages and harvesting your contact data.
Yeah seeing how elated he is being an absolute asshole with starlink he must be bursting with joy at the thought of chrome and android in his possession too.
Under normal circumstances, but i just have this suspicion that Musk will buy it using Russian and Saudi funding like was rumored for where he got the funding for Twitter.
So whether that would be a better situation I guess is up to interpretation.
There is really only three browsers webkit (safari/apple), blink (chrome/Google) , and gecko (firefox/Mozilla) . Pretty much everything is running on one of those three and if Google has to seel chrome, I’m not sure if that would help the landscape. Building/maintinaing browsers is really hard and expensive, most likely you’d just have another big tech company step in making things worse.
Preferring that we enforce our laws regardless of which billionaire benefits is a vote for Trump? I didn’t realize that. I’ve seen the light now. Thank you.
We can’t continue selectively enforcing our laws against monopolies. (This is just dark humor. Citizens United is for the express purpose of ensuring that any anti-monopoly law enforcement we get is selective and political, for the rest of however long the US has left.)
Google is awful, but any other company that could afford to buy and run Chrome would be worse.
Microsoft Chrome - now with Cortana!
Heaven forbid it becomes its own company/a non profit.

Any alternative is better than letting monopolies stand.
Sounds a lot like, “Biden & Harris support genocide, so let’s vote for Trump.”

No thread is safe…

Eh, maybe, maybe not. I’m guessing it’ll be Microsoft, and they’ll just run it into the ground like they do with pretty much everything.
