If that moment ever comes, the damage will already be done. All those dim-witted web developers will only support Chrome, and your data will belong to Google. People who supported this have been useful idiots.

Tone it down. Some people believe you can challenge the anti-competitive behavior of Google and Apple (in any order, including tackling the Apple problem first), and that you don't have to choose the lesser of two evils. It's a perfectly reasonable opinion. You're welcome to disagree, but it doesn't mean the people you're disagreeing with (including EU regulators) are a bunch of blithering "useful idiots". Regulators have taken down larger monopolies than Google before. See for instance the breakup of Bell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
