    How does chrome make money? It uses ads from Google, chrome on it’s own is not a business.

    Say you buy chrome, you have to options

    1. Ads built into chrome itself (when you’re in the settings menu, homepage, reading a PDF, playing the dino game)

    2. Force your own default search engine, or get a company like Google or Bing to pay you for the privilege of being a default search engine.

    Neither of these options are better than the status quo
