Google is likely to have 1000 people or so working on Chrome and Chromium.
That's going to be difficult to maintain. If OpenAI takes over i expect Chrome and Chromium to go closed source.

I assume a condition of the sale would be a contract to pay OpenAI $XX B/yr for the default search.
Chromium would be hard to relicense due to copyright but trivial to fork.
So, chromium won't go away. Those 1000+ people are the main resource here. Effectively they work mostly on chromium and not on chrome. What happens to chromium if that stops?
My guess is MS might step up and hire people.
