The DOJ is about to drop the biggest antitrust bomb since Microsoft’s Internet Explorer case.

In the late ’90s, bundling IE with Windows licenses played a big role in getting Microsoft labeled a monopoly and for good reason. IE’s complete stranglehold peaked at ~95% market share (150M users). Today Chrome’s “mere” 65% translates to 3+ billion users and gives Google far more control over the web than IE’s team could dream of.

The DOJ’s ideal solution? Make Google do what Microsoft probably should have done: spin off or sell off their browser.

But my question is: who on Earth could even buy it?
