So it's bad when there's less competition for organized crime?

That just means a more powerful mafia boss in town so probably yeah

We’ve seen time again that’s it’s better to have one strongman than a power vacuum with a lot of local warlords.

If Google wipes out all of the other analytics companies, I can just not use Chrome.

Until everything important in your life requires Chrome.

No company targeting a U.S. population is going to ignore the 60% of the market that uses iOS.

We need legally enforced browser ballots (again). Depending on the benevolence of a few giant gatekeepers is tenuous.

[scarface_74]

We don’t need browser ballots. No desktop operating system comes with Chrome installed. Every desktop user who uses Chrome, willingly goes and downloads it. They explicitly made a choice.

If you do have browser ballots , you’re going to be able to “choose” which Chromium skin you want to use.

Most people know about Firefox and they still choose Chrome.

And if they choose Firefox - they are still downloading a browser where most of its revenue comes from…Google.

No one is going to pay for a browser. Any browser you choose is going to end up supporting itself via ads
