This really feels like inept buracracy just trying to relive the glory of the microsoft trial. Yeah Chrome is for sure essentially the only browser like IE back in the day. However Chrome is open source and there are countless clones/spin offs. It not really monopolistic behavior because of that. I"m not a fan of Googles various issues but they are at this time still being good stewards of Chrome.

Moving Chrome to OpenAI would be the most braindead move ever by the gov, so I expect to see it happen.
