Antitrust goal is protect competition and prevent monopolies, Safari search and Bing market shares aren't in a position of a monopoly, unlike Google's (~79% of desktop search market share)

Which is ironic because this judgement will destroy Firefox (if Firefox doesn't destroy itself, anyway), and probably Chrome, and leave Edge as basically the only mainstream web browser with a "monopoly". The more things change...

I think Firefox will live. Maybe Mozilla dies, but somebody will raise funds and pick up the work.

Do you think it would survive a sale? Could the project be able to survive a huge nose dive in contributors? I only use chrome because I trust Google, who knows if the new owner would be similarly trustworthy in my eyes.
