4 companies, one for services (search, YouTube, etc), one for google workspace, one for software (android, chrome, chrome os, etc) and one for hardware

And a 5th: Advertising.

This will level the playing field a lot since Google wouldn't be able to subsidise their browser with ad money in order to show more ads in their search engine as well as feed their ads with data from the use of all their products.
