I see. So you're saying advertisement as a practice should be abolished in the US? That seems .. not ideal outcome? If you have a company/product/service, how would you attract customers?

Exactly. "McDonald's only serves Coca Cola. So Coca Cola is .. bad?" I sometimes dont understand the logic of some people.

Lots of people use Google through non-Chrome browsers. For instance, on iOS the dominant browser is Safari. What makes you think an independent "chrome" browser wont put Google Search as the default search engine?

This is the kind of knee-jerk reaction that causes lawsuits to fail. There's always nuance, and if you're not willing to be detailed, dont be surprised when things dont go your way.

Exactly. It has never been easy to search stuff using non-Google search engines. You like traditional search engines? Use bing, ddg. You like AI powered ones? ChatGPT, Perplexity You want to pay for your search? Kagi You want to plant trees

Whether a company has a business relationship with a company you dont like, doesnt make the same argument you're making. It is like saying, I dont like Coca Cola but when I go to McDonald's to eat food, they only serve Coca Cola.

I dont understand. I can browse the internet using a non-Google computer, use a non-Google browser, go to a non-Google website, use a non-Google programming language etc etc. Nobody, including Google, is stopping you from doing that. Note,

Mozilla already owns a browser, and gets free money from Google to do that. Yet, they have been mismanaging the whole time. What makes you think they'll suddenly do a good job when the funding goes away, and they have to now support a

The whole point was the 'boy who cried wolf' - OMG, we're not able to compete with Google because they are a monopoly. And then Sam Altman came and showed how to make a better product, and all of a sudden people are like, the

None of those are web standards. They are web technologies, but they arent standards unless other browsers agree to it. So pray tell, what should the browser do? Just sit on their hands, like Firefox? That's a classic example of how a

What conflict of interest? You're probably thinking of manifest v3, but Safari never supported extensions. Maybe you're thinking of third party cookie deprecation, which Safari doesnt have. In many ways, Chrome is becoming Safari

If Google doesnt do it, someone else (Perplexity, OpenAI ..) will do it. The cat's out of the bag, and there's no going back, unfortunately.

If "beating" is just bleeding money then yes. This is the same playbook that Uber had. Offer an exceptionally good service, until you have to make money. Then it becomes shitty. So nope, it isnt hard to do what Perplexity is doing

Appreciate you being transparent here with the headline, but it is interesting that you chose to remove the positive word ("does") and chose to keep the negative one "doesnt" for the submission.

You're right, but hard to ignore the fact that the other article had 2000 (!!) comments, and this thread has 120 comments. They are not at the same level.
