"make" Mozilla buy it, give em a heaping grant from the Library of Congress to keep the open web open, and be the engine behind every browser keeping things fair... sounds good to me!

In this scenario I’d much rather that heaping grant goes to a newly independent Chromium nonprofit org. Browser engine diversity is a good thing and worth trying to preserve.

Seriously the chromium project needs an endowment to sustain operations. Especially when you consider chromium OS too.

Are they being forced to sell Chromium? How would that work?

That’s what the article for this thread is about…

No the article is about Chrome, not Chromium

[JadoJodo]

But Google also effectively owns that, right? Or was that your question

[positr0n]

Chromium is open source and forkable, so it makes a huge difference in these types of discussions that involve control of the codebase.

Then instead of two browser engines we end up with one? That doesn't sound like a win.
