Rhetorical question: antitrust when?

They are dominant in search, ads, browser, mobile hardware, mobile os, mapping, and email. They’re using their dominance to corece users, and are just getting away with it. The influence they have over the Internet is second to none, and it shows they’ve dropped the whole “don’t be evil” thing.

News too. They even need to start funding local newspapers so there is enough content to link to.

I’d already be happy if we still have the ones we have today in ten years.

Yup, there’s 3-4 active ones, depending on how you count it (more if you count toy projects):

  • Blink - Chrome
  • WebKit - Safari
  • Gecko - Firefox
  • KHTML - Konqueror, discontinued this year in favor of WebKit

So essentially three, though Blink is a fork of WebKit, so kinda 2.5.

I switched to Firefox not too long ago, the only place I can’t replace chrome is my Chromebook. I can’t find a good Firefox copy, tried using both android and Linux versions but it loses alot of controls functionality (eg grestures on the trackpad)

If you aren’t already trying to remove Google from your life, you should be.
