This is not a minor infraction, nor is it the work of a handful developers (the GP said Google, not Chromium). This is a business decision, and a hugely flawed one at that.

IMNSHO, user-hostile business decisions should be fined in a way that does impact the business. We've long since passed the point where this can be resolved with a slap on the wrist. So yes, 5% of revenue seems like an appropriate figure to start with.

By fining the business you will directly affect whether or not Chromium continues to exist if at all, because it then becomes more of a liability than an asset to the company.
