So it would be really good for everyone if they were forced to sell Chrome

And who do you think would buy it? Loads of companies will be jumping at the chance not out of the goodness of their hearts but because they can see massive profits if they can control it. Very likely will start to squeeze it for all the profit they can and the enshitification process will begin.

For all the bad the Google has done they have kept chrome relatively free from the enshitification process. Likely as so much of their business would not exist if people didn't have a good browser to access their services on.

How is Manifest v3, Fingerprinting and the proposed "Web Integrity API" not enshittification?

They would have gone even further with this, if Firefox wouldn't exist. And Firefox is on life Support, because they can't afford for it to Go away otherwise they would have the Antitrust regulators Breathing down their neck
