Who would buy this and how would they monetize it? In browser ads? A freemium paid model to remove the ads?
I'll bid $3.50 just to GPL it.

It's already under BSD license
Sure, but GPL would prevent the Chrome tracking addons and other pleasant closed-source paraphernalia (the difference between Chrome and Chromium)
Isn't the BSD licence more open though?
BSD is more open towards being closed.
