I would be stunned if the DoJ knows the difference between Chrome and Chromium.

Chrome or Chromium? Because it’s logically impossible to have Chrome without Google.

Could you expand on that? Why couldn’t Chrome exist like Firefox does?

I guess you could keep Chrome as it is running in another company… But Chrome is Google-service-clogged Chromium, still making money for Google and changing literally nothing in terms of monopolistic behavior by Google. I don’t see the benefit in this division.

I’d imagine if Chrome was split, all the integrations would either have to be opened to other companies, imagine “log in to Chrome with your Microsoft account”, or would have to go away.
At least Google wouldn’t be able to treat web standards as their own playground any more, so other browsers could compete better.

Or… “Chrome company” could strike a deal with Google and keep an exclusive integration with Chrome, in exchange of all of users metadata. Capitalis*m.
