That would be a privacy nightmare. I would rather trust Google with my data.

If google is forced to sell... Why would OpenAI be allowed to buy it? Won't this become the same (or worse) problem down the road?

[aeurielesn → varsketiz]

Definitely worse.

Can I tell the judge that I would buy Chrome too? Don't feed attention trolls like OpenAI.

What does chrome have to do with this? The headline is about chrome, the article text is about search and owning chrome wouldn't give you search.

Welp, this likely means that Musk/X will want to buy Chrome now too. Anything OpenAI does these days gets the attention/envy of Musk.

I mean I can buy it as well, how much can it be? $10?

They are being silly, I think it’s free for download on the internet
