Google has the weakest "monopoly" on search possible. Bing and Duckduckgo emulate Google's search almost exactly. It's very easy to switch, far easier than Windows to $OTHER_OS ever was. Google does I believe pay Apple to make it the default search page, but it's pretty easy to change.

If Microsoft didn't have a monopoly in 1999, Google most certainly doesn't have one in 2025. This is a shakedown of Google.
