This week's topic is about where Google stops and Chrome begins and much like the judge in the antitrust case brought by the DOJ, its not clear.
What actually IS the relationship between Google, Chrome, paid ads and search??? Equally not that clear.
Google has to share and in that sharing they will get to keep custody of "Thor's hammer" also known as Chrome.
