I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

This is a result of Google most likely losing the anti-monopoly trial that’s been underway for a while now, which in my book is a Good Thing.
Focusing on one aspect of it being not so good feels counterproductive to me.
Anyhow, let’s see how this plays out first. First of all I want to see the upcoming separations/selling off of Google’s tentacles actually happening, and actually resulting in significantly less monopoly for Google/Alphabet.
The skeptic in me says that it won’t be quite as glorious as I hope, and funding will just flow differently. Who knows, maybe some other power hungry corp will step up.
OP:
Yes, but never directly!
