This is probably the real reason corporate America had no interest in endorsing Harris.

Google will bribe trump and this'll be undone immediately

Google is such a good company, one the best. Everybody says it. I was just talking to John Google the other day, and he tells me, no really he did, he tells me we're going to do amazing things together. Oogles of googles. That's what we'll sell. Everybody will know about google by this time next year. It's true.

What's to stop them just making another browser?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Not needed. Internet Explorer existed for years after the 90s. It wasn't killed by the courts. It was killed by the fact that it's only function was to install a better browser on first boot.

With blackjack and hookers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

I'm 40% internet browser.

If you're talking about edge browser, edge is chrome.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ew. So if someone likes their girlfriend to tie them up and edge them, that means they enjoy a breach of privacy, and getting google involved?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

Google does like to watch.

Lit. It's a good ask although it's not clear what separation means here. Not going to hold my breath, the big corpos seem to usually win these kind of games.

Chrome is now owned by a separate conpany with the same major stock holders.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 12 hours ago

It's like they're a company pretending to be another company, disguised as another company. Tropic Thunder all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Chrome is now owned by a company, owned by a company, owned by another company, that is owned by Google.

And even in the case where there is actual separation, and competition, it will only be temporary!

see history of telco consolidation after a monopoly breakup in 1984

Ugh. Just link to Reuters.

It has a soft paywall.

I think the common practice is to link to the original in the URL bar and then use the body text to do paywall/loginwall removals.
