Can we get from a world where Google is synonymous with search to a world where other search engines have a real chance to compete? The U.S. and state governments’ bipartisan antitrust suit, challenging the many ways that Google has maintained its search monopoly, offers an opportunity.

How much have you edged today?

Ngl i have been using webcrawler because all the blocked/promoted nonsense from Google made it virtually unusable and webcrawler has a few pages of nonsense but I've found everything I need.

Most interesting would be a forced sell of Android. Would all of the Google spyware be stripped out of Google’s Android distribution? Would we see more official distributions of Android without any Google software?

No. Or, almost certainly no. If they were forced to sell Android, my guess would be that another tech giant, that makes most of their money from data harvesting, would be most likely to buy it. Meaning any spyware would remain, and just be pointed to different servers.

I mean I bump brave - add free, and protects your privacy far better than any alternative I know, including Chrome ( I am not a no-it-all in the web browser privacy department however)
