Frankly, it's really crazy how much of the modern web is controlled by google. The most common kind of consumer-facing computer is a mobile device, and the most common mobile OS worldwide is owned by Google. The most common way that people interact with the web is either mobile apps or a web browser, and Google-owned Chrome/Chromium has basically eaten the world. The most common way that people find new information on the web is a search engine. Once again, Google's namesake search engine is the unambiguous leader in terms of market share by a landslide. Obviously there's more: YouTube, Google Maps and Waze, GSuite/Drive/Docs. But it's these first three verticals that smell the most monopolistic to me.
