Eh, I would think that if they're under fire for being a monopoly any non monopolistic actions like funding their rivals will be pretty well received.
They're paying Firefox to make google search default. That is a monopolistic practice.
How is that monopolistic if we are able to change our default search engine?
It’s anti-competitive to other search engines and advertisers.
@[email protected] @[email protected] IMO it would be monopolistic if Google forced Mozilla to remove the ability to change the default search engine. But if you want Mozilla to ask users which search engine they would like to set as default during initialization of the browser even after dealing with Google, that would definitely be nice.
