@getifyX @cramforce They may want to burn money now, but Chrome (and all the good work they do for the web) needs that money continuously. So they need a parent company that is willing to keep burning money. Google is invested in the web, they will do it. That was my whole point :))

@getifyX @cramforce Chrome is not just a browser. Google is the main contributor for the engine (Blink, v8), al lot of infrastructure, web platform/spec work (proposals, experiments, etc), devrels, infrastructure, etc. That's what we'll almost def lose if Google has to sell Chrome.

@getifyX @cramforce What's the source of this screenshot? 500m is ridiculously low. 1 billion is still too low, probably. OWA estimates it more like $2 billion (and that doesn't include everything because Google provides for things like legal teams, etc)

@getifyX @cramforce So first a company has to pay a reasonable price for Chrome (X billion for the browser). And then they have to keep spending. Without a clear monetization strategy (especially if Google can't pay for default search).
