Why does it need to be sold to another big company, why can't they just break Google up so chrome becomes its own business?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 58 minutes ago

Chrome by itself would likely cost 100 billion dollars to sell, and then more to maintain, without any clear revenue except selling user data. Chrome is not a profitable product on its own. Not many companies can afford that.
