Not really; chrome and Android are far more independent.

YT is integrated at every level from infrastructure on up. It depends on Google-internal libraries which are in turn integrated with other parts of the infrastructure... It would pretty much amount to a full from-scratch rewrite of almost the entire product.

Moreover, I'd question whether other providers even have the available public resource capacity to support YT.




Or give both Youtube and Google ownership of the affected code, and let them develop separately from the split.
