Last paragraph in the article has a few suggestions:
Or you could fight back. You could tell them to stuff it, and find ways to undermine their dominance. Use a different search engine, and convince your friends and family to do the same. Write to your elected officials and ask them to investigate Google’s monopoly. Stop using the Chrome browser. Ditch your Android phone. Turn off Google’s tracking of your every move.
And, for goodness sake, disable AMP on your website.
- jimmydorry 6y agoSo I read this as being a fight that only the web publishers can wage then. A minuscule fraction of people are going to write to officials and change their browser / search engine. Even far less of that fraction are going to throw away an expensive flagship phone (And what are they going to buy? Apple? That's sure to go down well amongst the hackernews crowd).
- amelius 6y agoWell if there were one big website aimed at developers that was out of reach of Google, that could be a start. Imagine a service like stackoverflow, except it's (suddenly) not accessible through Google Search and Google Chrome. That could trigger a lot of developers to move away from Google.
