    Something very close to Mozilla in my opinion. They’d have the browser as their core product, a few more apps as a logical extension of that (maybe a mail client like Thubderbird), perhaps Chrome Inc would inherit google’s office suite? That would be a breath of fresh air. Maybe revive a few of Google’s killed ventures that seemed more than promising.

      Mozilla basically gets all its money from Google

      Chrome on its own does not make Google money, in fact the only reason they care about chrome is because it helps Google search engine. I can’t find the article, but there was an email from a google exec saying something along those lines

        Yeah, they could puppet the chrome company if the courts don’t keep a close eye on it. Basically there’s a good chance it would be another Firefox but with way more influence.

      Mozilla is about to have serous issues because almost 90% of their funding was from Google’s illegal payments to make them the default search engine.

      So maybe not the best model after all.
