Why isn’t anyone concerned about the potential sale of Google Chrome?
The DOJ is pushing for Google to sell Chrome as part of its antitrust case, aiming to curb Google’s dominance in the search and advertising markets. Chrome, with a global market share of 63.55% and over 3.45 billion users, is a cornerstone of Google’s ecosystem, driving ad revenue and data collection. If divested, this could significantly impact Alphabet’s stock value and disrupt its business model, which relies heavily on integrating Chrome with its search engine and ad services.
Why do people seem muted despite these stakes? Why is this not a bigger concern among stakeholders?
