I forget Yahoo! exists until suddenly they’re involved in the most unexpected ways
How are they still a thing? It’s shocking
Someone buried yahoo in a pet sematary
Legacy services covered in ads.
idk, they have email
Honestly it should be moved to a non profit
100%
Least-worst prospective buyer so far assuming Yahoo isn’t just another “AI” company now.
Just a browser, please.
Agreed. Companies buying Chrome to make it a hyper target ad source sounds like a terrible idea, most tech people will just flock to a browser that doesn’t do that (at least the ones who haven’t already).
Which honestly would be great for browser competition, I feel like the best thing anyone who buys chrome can do is ruin it so everyone leaves for other browsers
lol no wonder why this is news. they can just download for free
Me showing Yahoo the link to download Google Chrome for free instead of buying it:
Sounds fine to me, I’ll continue to keep not using it
I fail to see how Yahoo will make Chrome better. I guess in the name of competition.
They could buy it and then release the source code to expose all the surveillance. It won’t make Chrome better, but it’ll at least show how much its been spying on its users.
Yeah, they’ll do that… 😆
Anyone who would care stopped using Chrome years ago.
I guess I better go dust off my Yahoo and AOL emails, Assuming this happens we’ll probably need to change to one of their logins.
Yes I know, use Firefox, but on my cheapo Chromebook I use at night for streaming that isn’t an option
Also, I can’t imagine Verizon and Apollo are going to have a heart and fix Chrome, more like they want that sweet sweet data.
Postmarketos isn’t an option?
Can Yahoo afford to support Chrome with a similar level of resources? Maintaining a browser isn’t cheap.
