ChatGPT maker OpenAI wants to buy Chrome from Google

Google is having a bit of a moment. It's not quite an Enron- or FTX-style "abandon ship" situation, but between two separate US antitrust rulings on its core search and advertising businesses, it's a five-alarm fire. One of the possible outcomes is Google selling off the Chrome browser… and it looks like one possible buyer is OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT. OpenAI's head of product for ChatGPT is named Nick Turley, and he testified at the remedy phase of the Department of Justice's successful monopoly suit against Google. When asked if OpenAI would be interested in buying the Chrome browser from Google, Turley didn't mince words.
