Imagine if your right arm decided to take a vacation, but left behind your left arm to do all the work. That’s kind of what Google is facing with Chrome! Testifying in the ongoing antitrust trial, the general manager of Chrome, Parisa Tabriz, dropped some bombshells about the intertwined destinies of Chrome and Google itself.
In a world where 90% of Chromium’s code is reportedly borrowed from Google since 2015, it’s like saying Chrome is practically a Google pet—cute, but entirely dependent on its owner for survival. Parisa’s comments reveal a sobering thought: without Google, Chrome might face a slow, painful demise.
Even experts chimed in during this legal circus, suggesting that if Google ever sold Chrome, they’d still have a vested interest in keeping the source code pristine—because, let’s face it, nobody wants the browser equivalent of a beat-up old Honda.
So here we are, left wondering: Can Chrome stand on its own, or is it chained to Google like a superhero with a slightly dysfunctional sidekick? The fate of one of the world’s most popular web browsers hangs in the balance. Will it break free, or will it be another ‘super’ tragedy in the making?
