      Um, that wouldn’t change if Google “sells Chrome”, though.

      Firefox uses Google Search as a default, so does every Samsung phone (and most other Android devices).

      Unless the DOJ is telling everyone not to implement a default search engine (and let the user decide upon first opening the browser), then who owns Chrome really doesn’t change much.

      Other remedies the government is asking the court to impose include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties — including Apple and other phone-makers — to make Google’s search engine the default,

      This is the only thing that makes sense, but “sell Chrome” is a laughable request.
