[craccocrai]

They discover in the 2024 that Google has a monopoly?

"one browser to rule them all
one browser to find them
one browser to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them"

If Google had to sell Chrome, couldn't they just make a Brand New Web Browser based on Chromium, because it is fully Open Source? And call it anything but Chrome, like The "Google Browser"? 😮

Ironically the reason they pay firefox is not to seem like a monopoly, and like there are other browsers out there.
80% of money the Mozilla foundation gets is from that deal with google. 80% of income!

I feel sorry for Mozilla. They're about to run out of that Google money.

I'll buy chrome for $20.99. Google hit me up

[leeviathan]

I was the weird one out when I started using Chrome and now it's getting lawsuits for being too popular

[matymasaryk]

[Faustch..]

Gemini telling users to die was not on my 2024 bingo card

[SlappyZA]

It's a shot across the bow cause they didn't pay their "lobbying fees" this month

[Haltroy]

Please DoJ sell Chrome to The Linux Foundation it would be so funny and I will be a good citizen that pays his taxes on time.

[FunIsGoingOn]

Nothing will change. You can set up a reminder in one year to watch this video again, Chrome and Google will still be there.

[haxking]

Google just needs to pray that the judge ain't some 90 year old grandpa who thinks google search is a manual process done by employees.

[yang]

Time to add 5 years of Google Chrome exp to my resume

[trichlorophenate]

Android as a seperate company again? Can we make it happen?

[driptcg]

Hopefully no one ever flags ur plug at 3:33 on sponsorblock. That was truly a masterful plug

[h.y-chen]

It's painful to imagine the web dev world before the release of Chromium

I worked at WETA Digital in the advent of LOTR, sat next to Guy Williams and delivered the texture map for the one ring, coincidentally.
