Will Google Go Away?

The headline and 1 sentence abstract from this morning's New York Times:

"U.S. Proposes Breakup of Google to Fix Search Monopoly

In a landmark antitrust case, the government asked a judge to force the company to sell its popular Chrome browser."

I haven't been following this carefully, but it isn't about search.

Didn't realize people still use chrome. I use it mainly as a tertiary browser. Way too much telemetry to be primary.

Firefox and librewolf (fork of firefox) are the main browsers. For a chromium based browser there's brave and vivaldi (among others). I use vivaldi as its fairly feature rich with lots of settings options.

One thing I absolutely hate about any chromium browser (the above 2 included), is you can't easily transport the profile. Elements such as saved passwords don't get saved. With firefox it's simple. Copy the entire profile folder over, done.

I don't expect anything (yet) to happen to google search.

The filed targets amount to mass destruction of what makes Google Google. What the actual eventual outcome will be is really it a lot of doubt.
