I’m a tiny shareholder of GOOG and if they stopped winning with Chrome in market and standards bodies to move chromium (or Chrome itself, including tracking for ad targeting?) into some dreamy fair play / independent open source entity, there would be a class action suit. Right?
That’s a very different kind of separation: it involved moving the employees with it. That’s certainly not what I’m suggesting. Google recently moved Kubernetes to the Linux Foundation. I don’t know the specifics of the move, but it certainly wasn’t a disruption of that level.

Big difference in size, economic entanglement via tracking/accounts-autologin, primary business interest, don’t you think? If you think most staff stay at Google and a few flak-catchers/evangelists/influencers at Chromzilla make a diff, I’m telling you that didn’t and won’t work.

I don’t know. But it’s a fascinating conversation to have. And a great way for people (myself included) to learn more about the guts of browsers and the business models behind them. I’m really thankful for your willingness to entertain it so far. :)
