Google Being Forced To Sell Chrome is Not Good for the Web

Honestly, that seems like another argument for taking Crome away from Google. Google was a source of quite a few… let’s say not very good things. Remember AMP? WebUSB, Web Bluetooth, Topics, and pretty much everything that allows tracking after cookies. Google’s very gung ho about adding stuff. They throw together a silly page in GitHub and merge a feature in a day. Then pressure everyone to accept it because they have a proposal and an implementation. And it’s all because they need it for their product (that’s going to be discontinued next quart anyway).

How is Google going to sell something they do not own? If we take a look at the actual code base then 95%+ of Chrome is Chromium. Which Google does not own. If I am running a monopoly on selling eggs should I be allowed to sell My Neighbors farm to correct that problem?
