Chrome/Blink shouldn’t be broken off into a business, but into a nonprofit org. Lots of companies rely on both which should make funding a non-issue.

What would stop Google from simply forking Chrome again?

Maybe Chromium development could be broken off into a non-profit, but Chrome is just some Google branding on top of the open source Chromium.

If it came to breaking up Alphabet, The courts would include in their orders terms that would prohibit them just picking the pieces back up.....
