What does the existence of Apple and Firefox have to do with the google search monopoly ruling. Do either of those companies operate a search engine?

I guess I found the 72%.

You really don’t know? Apple sells competing hardware and software to Android. Firefox is a competing software to Chrome.

If you want to focus exclusively on search engines that will only weaken your argument, as I can name a dozen others off the top of my head.

No. The monopoly ruling that you are referring to IS focused exclusively on search engines. Maybe don’t use evidence that you don’t know fuckall about?

The monopoly ruling that you are referring to IS focused exclusively on search engines.

Excellent, let’s review an incomprehensive list of competing search engines:

  • Brave
  • Bing
  • DuckDuckGo (previously mentioned and you ignored)
  • Yandex
  • Kagi
  • Yahoo
  • Baidu
  • Ecosia
  • Qwant
  • AOL

In short, Google has WAY more competition in the search engine industry than Steam has in the PC game purchase industry. So maybe learn WTF you’re talking about before being a dick.

Half of these are Bing and Google. Well, most other than Kagi.

No, one of them is Bing. None of them are Google.

Jesus dude, you should really stick to things you know literally ANYTHING about. Half the search engines you listed are literally using the same engine. I guess Google should have hired you as their attorney.

  1. It doesn’t matter. They’re still competition. Google does not make any money if you use DDG.
  2. And what about the other half?

Are you actually going to engage with the point or continue lobbing personal insults and deflecting?

You still haven’t explained how the existence of Apple and Firefox mean Google should have prevailed in the lawsuit. Why don’t we start there or are you just interested in dancing around how ignorant you are?

Insults and deflection it is. Everyone can see through your arrogant nonsense. Goodbye.

Yes, I deflected to asking you to start making sense. Sorry for that.
