I'm very worried over the fact that Google is more and more becoming the de facto gatekeeper to the internet. There's still Firefox and Safari, but Firefox feels like it's dying, while Safari's user numbers will take a hit after the EU's decision to loosen iOS browser restrictions.
The internet almost feels as important than the real, physical world. Imagine being bombarded with ads in real life. A lot of the tech-savy people use adblockers to make the internet experience tolerable, but once Google figures out how to stop all ad blocking and no other browser exists, it's game over. I hope that situation will spark a flame in the tech community to do something about the ad-driven internet as it exists today.
