None of these are replacements for Windows, the Operation system, which is what I claimed. > it's whether or not the company leverages that in an anti-competitive way Yeah, so a company silently changing your search engine in a competitor's browser on update of unrelated software is engaging in the worst kind of uncompetitive behaviour, which is what Microsoft is doing. Using google search doesn't install Chrome magically on your machine. It is an ad, and like any other company, Google is allowed to run ads. Also, search for Google chrome on bing, and you would see a giant popup telling you to download Edge. Honestly, I can't recall one bad thing that Google does, that Microsoft doesn't do worse. Fortunately, Microsoft could never have a foothold in the online advertising market, so they don't have any use of as much user data so far, although they do collect all sorts of telemetry from almost all their products, and in windows you can't even disable all of that.
