OK, but Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, and Google Search etc are ubiquitous. `Google' has even become a verb. Google might take a shotgun approach, but it certainly does create widely used products.
- nateb2022 9mo agoI will add that there's also Gemini in Chrome. With Chrome being the largest browser by market share, that's a powerful de facto default.

- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoEvery personal computer user except Chromebook users went out of their way to download Chrome. What exactly do you want “anti trust” to do?
- andrekandre 9mo agomaybe not allow google to bundle gemini with chrome?
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoSo should we also not allow OpenAI to bundle the OpenAI model with the ChatGPT app Absolutely no one besides ChromeOS users are forced to use Chrome.
- wyre 9mo agoAnti-trust doesn’t have to involve force, but monopolistic behavior. Google has spent over a decade advertising Chrome on all their properties and has an unlimited budget and active desire to keep Chrome competitive. Mozilla famously needs Google’s sponsorship to stay solvent. Apple maintains Safari to have no holes in their ecosystem. Stop being silly defending trillion dollar companies that are actively making the internet worse, it’s not productive or funny.
