"It would strike me as an over-ask," said Kevin Walkush at Jensen Investment Management, which holds Google stock and is skeptical a Chrome divestiture will happen.

Given that even Mozilla (who has significantly less resources than Google) had the ability to create a second web engine and then abandon it, it would be dumb to think that Google doesn’t have at least 2 or 3 teams working on different browsers or engines for no reason.

Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

Servo was a research project for mozilla, the cool stuff in it was shoved into firefox

I guess 5 years is not too bad, but the judge would probably never agree to the ban.

I guess it wouldn't be terrible if they made another browser then there might be three half decent browser engines to chose from: Firefox, old chromium and new chromium (probably called something else)
