Stop using chrome, let the market share dry up. The only reason they can get away with this is because they have a monopoly and surely its against anti-competition laws. But who is gonna try and take on google in court?

Break up tech giants.

Welcome to our hellish future.

The one thing I never understood about breaking up the giants is how are the remaining components gonna compete. Bc "YouTube inc" would benefit alot from "Chrome inc" and "Android inc". It's not like when we broke up the oil giants into normal sized oil tycoons that compete against each other. These are completely unique businesses that just feed off of each other instead of taking from each other.
