The exact opposite. Mozilla is no longer allowed to receive a payment from Google to be the default search engine, and that payment was 90% of their revenue

Google destroyed Mozilla by giving them free money until they became lazy and incompetent.

> Other remedies the government is asking the court to impose include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties — including Apple and other phone-makers — to make Google’s search engine the default
If this happens, Mozilla is going to be fighting for survival, it’s not going to be in a position to make acquisitions.

The point of antitrust action is exactly this, to destroy noncompetitive business models like chrome and allow true competition to thrive between actors in a free market. Given that you do not seem to understand the core point of antitrust i'm not sure you're in a position to judge it as ill advised.

Is that kind of the point? Chrome makes no business sense if it weren't for the anticompetitive edge it provides.
None of these options seem likely to create anything better than what we have now.
On the upshot, Firefox is going to see a resurgence. Hey, maybe Mozilla buys it?
