Eczouzia offered to take “supervision” from Chrome. It is not a bad idea.

“It is not ridiculous, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of the Berlin -based non -profit search engine EcosiaHe says about his unwanted company’s request to be awarded a 10 -year “supervision” to the Google Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor.

His idea is definitely ridiculous, but also smart.

On Thursday, Eczougia announced that it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome for American Judge Mihata. The judge is expected to rule this month in the means of recession to his prominent decision for 2024 Google has an illegal monopoly In searching online and advertising.

One of the treatments requested by the Ministry of Justice It would force Google to strip himself of Chrome. Google did not agree to do this (and in 2024 he pledged to appeal the original ruling). However, the competitors have been lining up to buy chrome since then. both of them Openai Al -Hirah has said that they would buy it; Last week, he made confusion Unwanted 34.5 billion dollars cash offered.

Perplexity was widely fortified as very low (not to mention that billions of confusion had sparked so far). “We believe that Openai is likely to be ready to pay more,” said RBC Brad Ericsson analyst in a research note.

Ecosia believes that Chrome is on the right path to generate $ 1 trillion over the next decade, and the auction can be priced “in hundreds of billions”.

This is the reason, in the nominal value, it seems that Ecosia requires free delivery of chrome – including control over about 60 % of revenue from its users – looks ridiculous.

The proposal to spend these billions on climate projects, as well as the general task of Ecosia. Founded in 2009, millions of profitability per month and have relations with local communities and NGOs in more than 35 countries. Projects in this vineyard proposal, including the protection of rainforests, the cultivation of global trees, agriculture cultivation, prosecution pollutants, and investment in green artificial intelligence technology.

Ecosia says the remaining 40 % ($ 400 billion, at the estimate of a trillion dollars) will be paid to Google. Google will maintain intellectual property ownership, and can continue to be the virtual search engine. When the contract expires, the supervision can be transferred to another, or review it in another way.

Ecosia, which uses Google to Run its search engine, It already has a revenue share partnership with Tech Giant. It is already offers its built -in browser on the Chromium Open Source engine that operates Chrome. For this reason it believes that the idea of ​​supervision is not outside the line. “We will be happy to manage the vineyards for them,” says Kroll. Ecosia is even preserved to work for Chrome employees.

However, Kroll admits that the biggest goal is to make the judge look at alternatives to the typical abstraction options for sale or spinning. These options simply keep the Chrome power, and their billions, in the pockets of large technology.

“We keep a busy record to make possible things possible,” he says. Should the judge think, “Who knows what he might come out of?”
