Weinberg described his estimate as a “back-of-the-envelope” calculation, based on Chrome’s vast user base and global reach – a figure that far exceeds previous estimates, such as the $20 billion valuation offered by Bloomberg analyst Mandeep Singh last November.

*It’s should be its own separate non-profit.

I’d say nationalize it, but considering the “nation” in question, maybe extremely not that?
