I wonder if the DoJ actually does split up Google if separating Chrome would make any difference with behavior like this?

Chrome on its own does not bring revenue. It would then require donations

Chrome is used to get a tighter grip on the www and form it to Google's vision (one that is very anti consumer). If Chrome dies, it would be a net benefit for all.
