Google selling its Chrome browser to another tech titan is likely to trigger antitrust concerns similar to those that prompted the US government to call for its sale in the first place. Selling Chrome would also deprive Google of a rich source of information used to train its algorithms and promote its other services like Maps. Launched in 2008, Chrome dominates the browser market, dwarfing rivals Edge and Safari, developed by Microsoft and Apple, respectively. Egan believed Google would find a way to recover if forced to sell Chrome. A Bloomberg analyst estimates that Chrome, which is used by more than three billion people around the world, would sell for at least $15 billion.
