Parisa Tabriz, the general manager of Google Chrome, recently advocated for Google's continued ownership of the browser in a federal court, amidst challenges from OpenAI and Yahoo. She argued that Chrome, which has been developed over 17 years, is deeply integrated into Google’s infrastructure, making its unique features like secure browsing unattainable for alternative owners. Although based on the open-source Chromium, Google has contributed 90% of the code, asserting that relinquishing control could disrupt its offerings. The lawsuit stems from recent antitrust rulings against Google, complicating its competitive standing in the market.
Parisa Tabriz highlighted that the 17-year evolution of Chrome ensures that only Google can deliver its current features and that alternatives lack the necessary integration.
She asserted that Chrome's essential features are built on Google's shared infrastructure, and rebuilding under another owner would be virtually impossible.
