The problem is Chromium.
How would they lose Chromium when it's only about Chrome?

I never said it was. Not sure what you mean.
you said this:
They need to maintain compatibility with play services to access apps on play store.
but that does not explain why don't they already block installing 3rd party apps. they don't need to allows this to oeep access to the play store.

Samsung blocks installing apps outside Playstore if you enable their advanced blocker mode. Xiaomi also warns and shows a pop-up for 10-30s preventing it.
Pixel's advanced protection mode does the same.
Also, when i metioned that I was talking about OEMs forking android and making it harder to use per your needs. Which would mean modifying android which could mean failing some CTS tests for play services. Boot loader unlocking is already on the verge of being killed. Installing apps and other things you currently do on your android could be next if OEMs were allowed free reign.
I received quite a few responses about apps when I wanted to Highlight the bootloader unlocking, custom ROMs, root, etc. I guess my comment was not too clear.

With reports of Elon Musk eying to buy Chrome or OpenAI… sorry but I believe this was the best outcome, what we need is people using more Firefox that is one of the few non-Chromium browser out there.
Was that anything more than just rumors? Letting a currently monopolistic company keep the browser because another bad billionaire might buy it and do something bad with it just prevents anything from changing.

it's not even close to being over yet
Please elaborate.

Never heard of it! I’ll check it out
They do a lot to help the environment. I just recently learned about them so I don't know how well they do with search results, but I like their mission.

Completely expected. Google paid the protection money.
They kissed the ring. The 'O' ring.

I mean, of all the things to cut off of them, Chrome made the least sense to me. It's not a profitable part of the business, it would just die if spun off. The only reason Firefox is alive is because Google is funding them. Plus changing what browser you use is much easier than some of the other monopolies they have (Android, ads, YouTube).

they are already massively modifying android, not just on the UI but the system services too, and CTS tests pass because google approved their software.

Who would buy a browser for billions and billions of dollars? Just see who has this amount of money and how aggressive they would need to be to get return of investment.
