That sounds clever. With a stewardship, a company without the obscene wealth that Google has could actually adopt a project normally out of their reach and influence it for good.

I wish the article went into more detail though.

    This helps for context: https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/21/ecosia-has-offered-to-take-stewardship-of-chrome-and-its-not-a-bad-idea/

    TLDR; If the lawsuit goes bad, and Google is forced to sell Chrome, it's a way for them to retain ownership while working with an existing partner to overcome the monopoly ruling.

    Still a win win in my book.
