How much effort should Google put into supporting browsers that don't have the feature sets to support the use case?
- wing-_-nuts 2y agoDepends, are the serious about avoiding antitrust cases?
- sbarre 2y agoI think Microsoft Office's mere existence precludes Google ever being considered a monopoly in the office apps space.
- toast0 2y agoMere existence of a competitor doesn't preclude an anti-trust case for monopolization or abuse of a dominant market position. Lots of office suites exist, but Microsoft has to tread lightly. In Recent News, the EU is dinging them for bundling/tying Teams with Office. Because it's a dominant market position, regardless of competitors. If at some future time, Google Sheets has a significant market share, they might get dinged, too.
- makeitdouble 2y agoHow many browsers are there with more than 2% global user share ? We're talking about 4 or 5 browsers, putting serious effort into supporting them all would be reasonable.
