Right, and everybody buys their games over microsoft store. I don’t even know what the hell GOG is supposed to be. A monopoly is not characterized by no other players, it’s chracterized by a lack of seriously competing players. There is a serious difference. Chrome isn’t the only player. It’s still a monopoly with 70% of market share. It can move the market at will with little meaningful resistance.
If I go and sell lemonade, that doesn’t do anything to CocaCola.
Chrome/google is a monopoly because they actually pay to keep Firefox and apple Browsers running. Firefoxes major funder is google. This is so Google can claim they aren’t a monopoly.
There is also Safari, Gnome Web, Falkon (don’t know the spelling), ladybird, then you got the web browsers that are not fully web compliant… the point is there is a lot. And even if Mozilla wasn’t paid large sums of miney by Google, Firefox as code wouldn’t vanish all of a sudden. It would likely be picked up by the FOSS community (again).
