  I fail to see how Yahoo will make Chrome better. I guess in the name of competition.

    They could buy it and then release the source code to expose all the surveillance. It won’t make Chrome better, but it’ll at least show how much its been spying on its users.

      Anyone who would care stopped using Chrome years ago.

  Can Yahoo afford to support Chrome with a similar level of resources? Maintaining a browser isn’t cheap.

  I guess I better go dust off my Yahoo and AOL emails, Assuming this happens we’ll probably need to change to one of their logins.

  Yes I know, use Firefox, but on my cheapo Chromebook I use at night for streaming that isn’t an option

  Also, I can’t imagine Verizon and Apollo are going to have a heart and fix Chrome, more like they want that sweet sweet data.
