I understand that this is "prosecutable", but I feel like the domination of Chromium is more dangerous than their search monopoly.

- riskable 3y agoThat's the thing, isn't it? There's so many anticompetitive things at play here it's annoying that the DOJ is focusing on just one (default search). From Chrome/Chromium to Gmail making it impossible to run your own email server to it becoming increasingly more difficult to separate the Google services from the AOSP. Also, if the DOJ is actually concerned about the anticompetitive nature of defaults they need to go after Microsoft's deals with PC vendors. If it's not OK to ship a phone with Google as the default browser why is it OK to ship a PC with Windows (prebundled and already paid for in the price) as the default OS? At the very least the consumer purchasing a PC should be required to pay for the Windows license separate from the computer itself.
