Oracle Chrome would remain free at first, but one year down the road all new versions would become free for home use but $50 per seat yearly for commercial use, with a clause that allows Oracle to enter your offices to audit your compliance at any time

>The new Chrome company will struggle for a year or two then Apple will try to buy it but lose out after Oracle submits a higher bid.

We're in the worst timeline, so I could see that happening.

Elon buys it to "preserve free speech everywhere" then turns it into the same swamp twitter is. So you know, could be worse.

Oracle Chrome, Ha! I wouldn't even be surprised if that's exactly how it plays out.

I'm sure Meta is doing some math on what they can afford.

God help us, haha!

If the choice is no internet, forever, or giving Oracle money, I'm gonna live in 1990 from here on out.

Return to Konqueror Browser from KDE - the grandfather webkit browser.

In all seriousness, I kind of wish that someone could build a sustained non profit like apache to take over chromium - if Google or Microsoft or others want to custom roll their own flavor fine, but Google being for-profit has been making decisions against the best for everyone browsing the web (such as the new plugin stuff around adblocks) (conflict of interest)

What did Oracle do?

The Chief Legal Officer is probably the most powerful person at Oracle after Larry the Lawnmower.

Besides gutting my former employer so that Larry can have even more money than he could hope to spend in a human lifetime?

Did you know that Oracle used to have its own web browser PowerBrowser? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_PowerBrowser

This sounds surprisingly likely.
