All good points, but even without Chrome they became one of the biggest companies in the history of Earth. Even without Chrome they'll still have Android and will undoubtedly spit out a Chromev2 browser experience that suckers will flock to - and even without Chrome they'll still likely control all of that search traffic.

Hey if it kills their fingerprinting plans, I'm all for it, but are they going to be prevented from developing a browser? That's like not being allowed to develop a car. Which - again, fine by me, but still unlikely.
