Is Google not doing the same thing as MS by not allowing plugins on mobile Chrome, and dropping APIs used by ad-blockers are they not using the dominant market

Is Google not doing the same thing as MS by not allowing plugins on mobile Chrome, and dropping APIs used by ad-blockers are they not using the dominant market share in one market (browser/ smartphone) to support their other market - ad revenue ?

But Google isn't a monopoly. That's the difference. Using your market position to gain traction in secondary markets is okay, as long as you aren't in a monopolistic position. Then it's predatory, and will get you in trouble with regulators.
