I’m not really sure how you fix it. Considering it specifically calls out being the default option on iOS, we can assume that’s going to change. However, I could also see Chrome’s market dominance challenged. Maybe they’ll be forced to somehow split that off and Chrome will need to be funded through some combination of donations or selling its own ads/data.


An independent Chrome App Store would easily achieve profitability. There are more than 3 billion chrome users.


Are Chrome plugins capable enough to sustain a paid store model? I thought they were becoming more restricted to stifle ad blockers.


In this scenario, if Chrome were a separate business from the rest of Google, they would not be incentivized to stifle adblocking.
