The United States Department of Justice argued Wednesday that Google should divest its Chrome browser as part of a remedy to break up the company’s illegal monopoly in online search, according to a U.S District Court of the District of Columbia filing.

Yeah like, that won’t end the monopoly. We have YouTube effectively treated like an information utility. This is a company that would have already been nationalized by a sane country.
… And Google with just fork Chrome and then use its monopoly in advertising to dominate with whatever the new name is.
Just spinning off chrome feels like not enough to me. I wonder what the final package will look like.
They need to spin off chrome, Adsense, analytics and search.
Analytics shouldn’t carry Adsense Adsense needs to have arms length deals with EVERYONE chrome needs to be its own thing.
And Android
It’s too bad this won’t mean shit here in a couple of months.
