Isn't this behaviour making use of their market power and should be looked at by the antitrust authorities? Overriding user's preferences with a forced install

Overriding user's preferences with a forced installation of an extension reminds me very much of the old Microsoft I had hoped was gone for good.
- basch 7y agoIm not going to pretend most people probably dont want chrome, but lets not ignore all the dark patterns and confusing language they used to get installed and take their market share in the first place.

Hopefully the anti-trust / monopoly authorities do decide to pick this up, as it'll be the 2nd time around for MS. They obviously didn't learn from the first, so the measures this time around will need to be much, much stronger. :)
