I don't even care about their search monopoly. I've never found a search engine that works great these days because the internet is so filled with SEO blogspam, AI garbage, engagement farming, and information siloed behind specific non-searchable platforms like Discord, it doesn't matter what search engine you use.

I care much more about how they essentially own the browser space, and can just force through garbage "standards" that no one wants like Manifest V3 for no reason other than to make more people look at their own ads. That seems like an actual abuse of their monopoly status that's going to harm the internet.
