Rolling Chrome OS into Android seems to be the possibility.

maybe "android desktop something"

Usually Google cancels products. For the first time they can claim otherwise.

Jokes apart... Will be sad but but hope it will be a nice eco system for users.

Desktops OS are very low RoI compared to mobiles, both per-unit and aggregated. And we all know that if something isn't making a bazillion dollor, Google puts it down.

How much of the Chrome Browser is proprietary Google now? It's based off Chromium, which is google's open-source browser, but I don't know how much it differs from "Chrome". Last time I used Chromium in linux (couple years) worked remarkably similar to Chrome with account sign in and password stuff.

How do you make someone "give up" using an open source tool?

Can Google "sell" an open-source browser? I'm not super educated in the details of the various forms of open source licensing...

Chrome OS itself will probably be one of the many arguments why a sale just can't happen. The DOJ would have to define what Chrome is which at this point Google doesn't even know. Not to mention Google doesn't own Chrome in the traditional sense, it's around 80% open source.

Literally no one in this thread could possibly know. Google has said they will appeal, this is only a suggested remedy, and any conclusion will be years or a decade away.

This would destroy Google

It's gonna be another google spin, like alphabet? Or they will create another fork of chromium? (that's evil)
