most browsers are based on chromium. if Google sells Chrome they still control chromium, and through chromium they control chrome, brave, Edge etc. what I'm saying is that Google selling chrome won't really fix anything.

I'm curious about this analysis, because as a lay person to the business and its relationship to the tech, I have no opinion either way currently. That is to say, I neither agree nor disagree with what you're saying.

What I am is interested in why this string of comments is being down voted without comment, and I'd love to hear a bit more as to why from anyone who has some more to contribute.

I'm not sure myself what people disagree about. I'd celebrate if Google loses chrome, but I don't think it would fix the problem of Google seemingly controlling all Browsers except Firefox and Safari. if I'm wrong about something id love to hear about it, I try to be open-minded and I have to admit I don't know /that/ much about this topic.
