- jpalomaki 7y agoAndroid and Chrome are a bit different as they were started years ago and Google has been somewhat careful in not pushing then too hard (for example only allowing Chrome on YouTube). With Android and Google services they have already attracted some attention. Providing services like chat or webmail for free likely does not trigger any concerns. It has become accepted that this kind stuff does not cost anything to consumers so giving them free is not considered dumping. YouTube could be definitely a concern, but Google seems to be careful with it. For example their spending on YouTube exclusives feels quite modest.
