How is Chrome supposed to be a business on its own, tho, especially without search engines sponsoring it (presumably?). Firefox isn’t exactly doing great either, and they’re a non profit.
I agree that alphabet needs to be broken up, but it should probably be done in ways that leave viable business on place.

Agree. One place to start would be that the company that sells ads (Google Ads) should not be the same as the ones that buy ads (Search, YouTube, etc.).

Yeah, they’re currently playing both sides of the digital ad market place, and that’s definitely where you should start when breaking up Alphabet.
