If you try using a competitor's browser with Google's services, you're constantly inundated with ads/annoyances/scary-warnings urging you to switch to Chrome.

I haven't noticed this with other browsers but if you use Edge and you sing into YT, Maps, Gmail, you're constantly being urged to switch.

How the fuck is this legal????
>>
They do that with literally any microsoft browser.

>How the fuck is this legal
Don't like it don't use their service, dipshit.

Use ad block, it's just websites.

Windows nagging is much worse, you're helpless against it if they take away the option to remove it.

Why would advertising your own product on your own services be illegal?

It's called monopoly and Microsoft got sued for it. This is no different.

Being a monopoly is not the same thing as advertising

The very important difference is they got sued for bundling SALES of a PAID PRODUCT by leveraging the operating system, something that is unavoidable.

Googles services are free, and therefore not a sale, and are therefore not leveraging anything to gain revenue directly.
You do not need to use google's services, you don't purchase their browser, so there is no monopoly infringement taking place.

Do you realize that microsoft literally does the same?
It fucking pushes edge on you, tells you how much better it is for your battery life and does all kinds of aggressive marketing

Microsoft got sued because they bundled their products together which resulted in other companies products being neglected. Google is just advertising their product on their services. It's no different than a grocery store advertising shopping bags they make.
>>
The spoopy thing here is that this is how Google Chrome got such a large market share. Unable to thing for themselves, normies just mindlessly clicked "Download Chrome" because Google told them it was better.

>Being a monopoly is not the same thing as advertising
kek... you mean like when Microsoft "advertised" their IE inside of every Windows OS.

Fuck off Google shill.

Let's hope the current gov won't be bought off like Obongo's administration and Google will be sued for anti-competitive practices.

Retard, Google's actually placing their products higher in SEO rankings.

That's why EU is suing them for anti-competitive practices.

How was it legal for MS Front Page to generate web pages that rejected any browser than IE?

It wasn't. They lost the anti-trust case and were convicted.

Not "hates", it's just that most normies that don't know how to change their browser obviously use IE.

never noticed that. i use firefox with ublock on GNU/Linux

How the fuck is Microsoft's false advertising and complete monopoly over the desktop computers legal? They should be sued at least once a year.
>>
>>59677087
Fucking ad block doesn't work for Chrome either. It lets the YouTube ads through because Chrome doesn't recognise it as an "extension" . Fuck you Google's this is why I won't use Chrome you fucking faggots.

Wanting a ChromeOS infested with malware, adware, shareware, and shartware.

Yes, M$ does it too, but at least they learnt their lesson after being bitch slapped.

Why the fuck would it be illegal, you tard? You're voluntarily using their service, they have every right to promote their product to you.
>>
I understand that JewTube dislikes Edge because it doesn't support VP9. I don't know any legit reason for other services, though.

Direct reprisal, try to make Chrome default browser in Windows 10 and it argues with you. I used to have to come here for shitposters to malign my technology choices but these days its built in.
