How can Google get away with this behavior legally? I am so disappointed that the most recent antitrust lawsuit that they "lost" regarding their search engine monopoly basically forced their hand to defund their only real competitor, thus making sure that they cannot get into trouble for killing it off to cement their other monopoly on the browser market. This vertical integration of being both a browser vendor and having a massive stake in how much browsers allow users to control how content is processed should have been stopped a long time ago by forcing them to split development of Chrome into a separate company.

- beardyw 2y agoI think the sentiment was that without ad revenue Google could not afford to provide free services. As a rule, "stuff" costs someone something.
