It's not antitrust unless you're pushing install your own products and only pushing your products.
You knowblike Google do if you access any of there services not in chrome "download chrome here", "this site works best in chrome".
- coldtea 8y agoIt's not antitrust until (a) you're a monopoly, and (b) blackmail/bribe OEMs to avoid competitor products.
- tracker1 8y agoIs Chrome really that far off from IE on market share when the MS anti-trust talk started?
- criddell 8y agoChrome could have 100% market share and it wouldn't necessarily be a problem. If I understand it correctly, Google would have to abuse their market position in some way.

- bzbarsky 8y agoLast I checked, Chrome blocks autoplay of videos with sound on websites. Except for YouTube, where they allow it. If they were a monopoly, that would seem like a pretty clear abuse of market position.
- merb 8y agothat's not enterily true. on dailymotion videos also start with sound while the video is autoplayed. As far as I know it has more todo with the visibility/size of the video. Here is the ruling (I've written the above before: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-p...)
- bzbarsky 8y agoVarious other sites can get added to the whitelist if their videos are big enough and the user plays them often enough. But YouTube starts out on the whitelist. It's possible that dailymotion does too. The BBC, doesn't seem to be on the whitelist, though.
- tracker1 8y agoI'm not suggesting that its' necessarily a problem, except in cases where Google abuses their position to the negative effect of competitors.
- coldtea 8y agoPerhaps (a) is close, but (b) should also hold.
