In other news rain is wet. Damn the legal system is so inept and corrupt. This has been clear for what, like 20 years now. Should have been deemed illegal all along. For profit companies will always seek market domination to maximize profits, always have and always will. It’s the legal system & authorities job to regulate so it doesn’t happen and take swift action when it does.
They should also break up Google’s stranglehold on the browser market but I guess that’ll take another decade or two at least as well. Sadly meanwhile this ruling could lead to Mozilla losing its main funding if Google can’t keep paying to be default search engine which could lead to even less choice in the browser space.
