Depends on what issue they are trying to fix.

Chromium is a problem but it doesn’t seem like that’s what they are trying to address here.

I was talking about the technical monopoly wrt to rendering engines and web standards, Chromium is a problem but it doesn’t seem like that’s what they are trying to address here.

From that article it seems like they might be trying to separate chrome in hopes that that will enable the new owners to “decouple” it from google search.

If that’s the case it’s a dumb move if it’s the only move they make, all that would happen is google would just build the new owners a scrooge mcduck swimming pool to make google the default search. Same thing they do with firefox.

It even says that in the article.

It would be interesting to see how they’d deal with the decoupling of the built in google proprietary panopticon bullshit.

They’d struggle to shift that over to chromium without upsetting…well…everyone.
