This will be really interesting, especially given the Firefox fiasco and the fact that chrome is open source. Assuming it stays open source will Google just fork it and make their own chromium browser? Guess we'll see

During the term of the judgment, Google would not be allowed to release any new browsers. However, it may continue to contribute to the open source Chromium project.

Potentially later, but I’m not sure people would switch at that point
