How would Chrome make money? Accepting $1B a year to make Google the default search engine?


Just like how they do now: selling your data.


thanks for saying out loud.

its uncanny how even people in the industry lives in the make believe world where google is a charity, moving mountains just so you can have a browser with "faster JavaScript" (which it's not, its all prefetch and marketing)

google made more money from the features they normalized by strong arming the w3c via chrome than anything else.


App store. The plug-in ecosystem is huge but Google makes more money using Chrome as an ad dump
