What's unfair about that? Google is definitely a monopoly, but as long as other models can eventually enjoy similar integrations, through extensions or otherwise, I don't see how it's unfair for Google to add their model to their browser and search page, especially when their chief business model of search (OK, we know it's really just ads, but still) is currently being directly threatened by other model and search providers.

Yea i dont think googles distribution has any real threat other than the enterprise monopoly equivalent.

And googles path to evolved ad revenue is clear in Veo3. Effective ads will be personalized videos - Google owns the infrastructure and data to make this real, others do not.

They can't, Gemini is being baked in the browser. Other players can't do this.
