Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with Windows and made it impossible for users to remove it. That's not at all "pretty much the same thing."

- Termious 6y agoOkay, do you care to address the core point of my comment? These are two examples of anti-competitive behavior. The details might differ, but the core idea of what they did and how they did it is the same (abusing their dominant position to anti-competitively disadvantage competitors). Yet Google gets a pass because "capitalism".
- freyr 6y agoI've used Google search daily for many, many years now without ever feeling the need to use Chrome. I use Safari on my laptop and mobile Safari on my phone. I can't recall the last time I saw anything pushing me towards Chrome. I'll take your word for it that these happens or happened, but I just tried a search in Safari and saw no Chrome ads.
