DOJ Reinforces Demand to Break Up Google's Search Monopoly (opens in new tab)

Google has the weakest "monopoly" on search possible. Bing and Duckduckgo emulate Google's search almost exactly. It's very easy to switch, far easier than Windows to $OTHER_OS ever was. Google does I believe pay Apple to make it the default search page, but it's pretty easy to change.

If Microsoft didn't have a monopoly in 1999, Google most certainly doesn't have one in 2025. This is a shakedown of Google.

This is insane... Google has never been weaker. Relatively technical consumers no longer use google, we use AI chat apps. If that trend continues Google is in big trouble. Forcing Google to sell Chrome makes no sense. Who wants to go back to Edge? We need a big company backing Chrome.

I don’t know what any of the break up Google plans are.

Chrome becomes a non profit or something?

Someone else buys it and tries to make money? (That sounds terrible…)

I’m not opposed to some of the anti-monopoly ideas going round but gotta have some plan…
