The issue is that Google is default on Chrome. Their charges against Android are coming soon, they've launched an official investigation into Android app bundling as well.



The issue is that Google is default on Chrome.

I'm not convinced that's an issue. A user has to specifically choose to down the Chrome browser for free. At which point it defaults to Google search, and you can trivially change it to use another search engine. The "issue" sounds really thin to me.

Their charges against Android are coming soon, they've launched an official investigation into Android app bundling as well.

So, what relevance does that have here then?


The "issue" with regard to the browser wars in 201x has always been thin. That idiotic "ballot" thing that European Windows users had to deal with? Yeah. God forbid a modern OS come with a web browser.


Extremely similar behavior. Basically the same premise, just a different division of the company doing it.
