Selling Chrome won't end Google search monopoly

This is just laughable.

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ has an almost 90% market share of search globally regardless of browser.

It pays $Apple(AAPL)$ $18B/yr to be the default search engine in iOS.

Simply selling Chrome to another company will not change Google’s search engine monopoly.

It’s simply restructuring masked as antitrust.

$Apple(AAPL)$ market share in Indonesia's 35m/year smartphone industry is 12%. That works out to 4.2m iPhones each year with an estimated value of $4 billion. Not sure what a $100m investment will do to help the company comply with Indonesia's 40% local content requirement. That amount might just be for some basic assembly and/or packaging.
