So if Google sold off "Chrome" to OpenAI for billions. Now that OpenAI can push whatever update or search to Chrome as default. Assuming they have use of it.
What would stop Google to build another browser say Information Explorer with the same engine and code? And market the hell out of it on its Web property?
I dont know I have no idea. Could a court ruling bar certain entity from doing business in certain areas? Because That sounds silly to me. I wont be surprised if it was in other countries such as China, or EU , UK and Canada.
But US? The place that is perhaps the most pro Business or capitalistic on earth?

The courts. The courts would stop them. The entire premise for Google selling-off Chrome is a mandate that they divest themselves from the business itself.

Probably a court order, no? If you’re ordered to sell something, can you just recreate it immediately?
