U.S. DoJ Again Calls for Google to Sell Chrome

[CarlJ]

The only reason Google keeps its share is that the majority haven't found a better alternative. If there is a better alternative we'd be reading all about it and within seconds change our browsers to use the new engine.

I switched over to DuckDuckGo's search engine (as default from Safari) a few years ago, and haven't looked back. Once in a long while I'll run a query on DDG and get back mediocre results, and try the same search in Google to see if it's any better, and it's... usually a coin toss whether it has anything better or not.

Tim this is your moment. Buy Chrome and rule the browser kingdom.

Great Comment love the spirit love the wording just nahhhh, let’s not have anything to do with google, shall we?…

I think that they really should break up Google and force them to be completely separated.

Be careful what you wish for…a broken up google could be. Far worse….well who are we kidding?? They’ve infected almost every facet of modern life as it is so…no difference?…

Thanks for the advice. But I’ll pass this time around. 👍

That’s some funny stuff. A little reality check goes a long ways in life. Just doing research anywhere that isn’t others drinking Apple Kool Aid leads to more facts.

it’s disingenuous. If it’s your opinion, fine. But if presenting as a fact a citation goes a long way. I’m not here to verify your opinions.

There are several parts of Google including search, advertising, software, services, hardware, etc. How would you propose it be broken up?

You mean you'd rather the Apple Watch be called the iWatch? Apple Vision Pro be called iVision Pro? Apple TV be called iTV? For consistency, should therefore all Mac products be iMac e.g., iMacBook Air, iMac mini, etc.?

I think iWatch and iTV had already been registered trademarks by other companies.

I think breaking the advertising arm off would be the most impactful. Google can only afford to give services away for free by subsidising it from advertising revenue.

If Google products and services had to pay for themselves (license fee, subscription, one-off payment) then it would give an opening for many more competitors to enter the market and compete with Google.

I wonder... if Chrome is sold... will it still keep on sending all the search history to Google as it does now?
