      So instead of proactively working to make sure it’s not just Google contributing to Chromium (contributions that could go away if sold off), you think it would be better to just let the worst happen and then start doing something about it?

      Do you realize how much modern web relies on Chromium and how much of that is done by Google currently? It’s a terrible idea to have it the way it currently is and probably even worse if Chrome is sold.

      Also the idea of widening the contributor base helping the monopoly is sorta backwards.
