For years, when searching "Firefox" on the Google Play store, the only way to install apps on most Android devices, the first result would be a Google ad for Chrome.

meh, that's the case for all sorts of apps, not only google things. Looking for "tinder" gives me a Hinge ad as first result.

True, but Google has a conflict of interest here and they really need to be barred from doing this in categories where they also compete.

Except Google is just moving money from right hand to left hand.
If Firefox wanted to be at the top, they have to pay cash to Google.

That's besides your point but Tinder and Hinge are not competitors, they are both owned by Match Group.
