The half of Google without AdSense would go bankrupt. AdSense is the golden goose.

Maybe. But that part would be selling ads through third parties. Which means there would be competition for them.

Once Google has a long steady product someone want to kill it

I really don't think all the solution proposed are fair to Google

I don't care about them being fair to Google. They weren't fair to the web.

Google open sourced chrome, it created it and helped to standardize the web and others to freely have a good base for a browsers ... It found a way to have all advantages without penalizing others.
This isn't a monopoly behaviour.

No. Making your sites work worse on other browsers is absolutely anti-competitive behavior. Making it so that you get first and last peeks at ad auctions is absolutely anti-competitive behavior. Open sourcing Chrome does not make up for that.

Google has very good positions in the search/ads but it isn't a real monopoly because people have a choice.

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, MONOPOLY IN THE LEGAL SENSE DOES NOT LITERALLY MEAN ONLY ONE OPTION.

You cannot criminalise cocacola because most of people love it

I could criminalize them if they engaged in anti-competitive behavior, like charging more for their product to companies that also sell Pepsi.

A fair trial should scale all the aspect of the behaviour of a company.

A fair trial would still come out that the harm Google has done outweighs the good.
