In the EU, they're forced to ask you which browser and which search engine you want.

Letting one instance of blatant anti competitive and anti consumer behaviour fly because others are allowed isn't the way to go. Google are a bit monopolistic abuser, fix that. Apple are too? Good, that's the next job.

That's how the EU is approaching with the DMA and DSA.

And in the EU, there's little difference in Chrome & Google market share on Android.

It's almost as if people actually like Google's products.

You can use multiple browsers. Even my non-technical SO does, with no input from me.

That would show up in market share.

If you're assuming the vast majority of European users don't use Chrome except when tricked by Google to game MAUs - it would show up in usage that the vast majority of European Android users are regularly using a different browser.

There's hardly a difference compared to RoW.

I have to use multiple web browsers, and what doesn't work on Firefox works on Chrome or Edge, and vice versa.
