Except you’re not dealing with anything. What do you think happens once Google sells Chrome? They release a new browser a month later, and it will be better than Chrome because nobody has the manpower to develop a web browser at the same speed as Google. This is a waste of time.

I'd assume the ruling would also stipulate that they don't develop a new browser for X years. Otherwise they could be right back in a day by forking Chromium.

So you’re saying a company should be prohibited from developing a product because it might be better than the competition? I don’t think you guys even realize what you’re advocating for.

I do. The exact reason this legal framework is in place

Can’t argue with that. Have a nice day.
