> If you think a company is creating monopolies just use an alternative.
I do. I've used Firefox as my main browser since well over a decade ago.

Again, I never use it. I tried it back when it was new but it wasn't that much faster and the extensions were subpar.
Later the reasons expanded as K didn't want to deal with Google.
> Maybe they are offering something better than the alternatives and I do not think someone should be entitled to force all the other consumers have inferior or more expensive products because a third party decides that they are too big.
If this was all then they should probably go free even if no one liked them. I think I am fair enough to judge them that way.
However they, like Microsoft before (and after) them use their monopoly in one space to chase monopolies in other space.
> By this reasoning, what you are saying is that we have to stop companies making better products for the people on the basis that they are too big.
Not at all what I am saying.
- germandiago 5y agoFWIW I used Chrome and now use Firefox. When I said "you" I meant people who complain in general terms about these companies yet they still have a choice and use stuff from companies they hate. I am just trying to make my point that a superior product is good for the consumer and there are rules that can hurt you as a consumer that are apparwntly good. Nothing can replace good judgement and information. I find natural companies trying to reinvest. That creates employments anyway. I prefer that there are more services providers as opposed to a big one but that is not a reason to stop them if they offer the best alternative. After all, smaller companies have always emerged when the big ones were there already. That shows that being big does not mean you can beat everyone at everything at all.
