that would be funny, won’t happen–but funny af. google loses chrome, new owners revert mv2’s removal and go all-in on user control of their browser experience.

i expect at least the ‘big’ ‘non megacorp’ chromium based ones like vivaldi, opera, brave to keep mv2 as long as it is possible.

but i can totally see google doing some serious mangling of the codebase to make patching-in mv2 difficult.

It was sold by Amazon itself rather than a third-party seller, which is often the case with these sorts of fake items.

The fact that the packaging was sealed and the CPU was unused suggests that this was not one of those instances in which someone bought an item and replaced it with a fake before sending it back for a refund.

co-mingled inventory strikes again.
