Board_hunter567 08/16/24 12:28:04 PM #65:	Kami_no_Kami posted... Oh and its absolutely a monopoly and has been for years (alongside Amazon and Facebook). Im glad courts are finally calling them on it. Ironically, this decision could make Chromium's dominance that much stronger. Mozilla gets a ton of revenue from Google for making them Firefox's default search engine, so if the ruling holds that could have a substantial effect on their funding. Then again, considering how Mozilla's leadership has pocketed millions of that revenue for themselves, and they're now making questionable moves regarding "privacy respecting" ads, maybe it's for the best they reorganize into a more lean operation or for Firefox to find new stewardship. Tyranthraxus posted... No. It uses the same web rendering engine as Chromium but it is not actually Chromium based. The APIs in Microsoft edge are native to Windows. Microsoft repeatedly says it's built or based on Chromium on their own site. If they were using anything besides Blink and V8 you know they'd be bragging about it.

thisworld 08/20/24 7:58:42 AM #68:	An interesting article from Bloomberg after that antitrust win. It's extremely rare for a major US corpo to be found guilty by a US court. It seems the DoJ is getting serious about this. US Considers a Rare Antitrust Move: Breaking Up Google Antitrust enforcers soliciting input from outside companies Judge ruled Alphabet unit monopolized online search, ads A bid to break up Alphabet Inc.s Google is one of the options being considered by the Justice Department after a landmark court ruling found that the company monopolized the online search market, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations. The move would be Washingtons first push to dismantle a company for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. Less severe options include forcing Google to share more data with competitors and measures to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private conversations. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-13/ doj-considers-seeking-google-goog-breakup-after-major-antitrust-win Just to put this antitrust win in perspective: The judge's decision was historic, as it was the first time an American company was found guilty by an American court in the past 40 years. The last time something similar happened was in the early 1980s when AT&T was found to be gaining an illegal advantage over competitors in the fixed telephone business. In 1984, it was ordered to split its services into different companies. source:gsmarena.com <cite>thisworld posted [p:981787180] in US judge f...

Yeah she's alright all things considered. FTC actually blocked NVidia from buying ARM in 2022. Yeah that ARM, the one behind ARM microprocessor architecture.
