    I never thought forcing Google to sell Chrome was a good idea. Most of the companies lining up to buy it were AI companies flushed with private equity money. Does anyone really think those companies would do a better job at protecting user privacy and avoiding monopolistic practices?

      While I agree with you, I wished that Mehta would entertain the idea of spinning Chrome into an independent company, even though it is still unclear to me how a browser company can generate revenue, especially to pay the salaries of the army of engineers working on Blink.
