Eh, probably they will be labeled "too big to fail" and the US government will go into even more money printing to keep them afloat. Making inflation even worse than it is.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what the ramifications of Alphabet's collapse would bring about. I can only imagine good things, though I know Firefox is propped up by them.

It wouldn't collapse per se. It would get sold to the next biggest bidder. You'd end up with the likes of Amazon, Microsoft or Musk or something.
