It's unlikely to happen because the incentives are different.
00's Microsoft stopped IE development when they had a monopoly because they wanted everyone on Windows. The web was a competitor, they tried to stifle it.
Google makes all of their money on the web. They want everyone on their browser and for the experience to be as good as possible.
- mrtksn 4y agoThere are plenty of articles and reports on the loss of effectiveness of the Google Search and the dying of the self hosted content. There’s also a lot of attempts to transform the web into something else because it has become horrible. I would not say that Google’s incentives are aligned with the rest of the participants. Google may very well take defensive actions against anything that challenges the status quo.
