      IIRC they’ve already started going after anti-adblock updates to Chromium.

    Remember: If a massive corporation is vehemently against something, it’s probably good for you.

    Yeah we really need these antitrust reforms - just look up how many / what subsidiaries Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. own. For example, Microsoft owns GitHub (biggest market share for CI / CD platform) and basically owns OpenAI (biggest market share for GPTs / AI).

      Look up Microsofts Anti-trust lawsuits from the '90’s, this isn’t their first rodeo.
