Firefox is a browser. Chrome is a browser. Windows is an operating system. Consider having a closer look at the IE anti-trust cases to better understand the difference.
- tatersolid 7y agoThe Google Search homepage isn’t a browser, but they stick an intrusive bar across the top of the screen instructing me to install Chrome. Google’s search monopoly is even greater than Microsoft’s OS monopoly was at its peak.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoTrying to special case an operating system as the reason this is so bad misses the point. The reason Google abuses it's home page to push Chrome is because Google controls the world's most popular home page. The reason Microsoft abuses it's operating system to push Edge is because Microsoft controls the world's most popular operating system (for desktops, anyways). This is not about what is an OS and what is a browser (and things like Chromebooks make that line super blurry anyways). It's about monopolies using their market dominance in one category (which ever it is) to illegally expand their presence in other categories.
