If you're wondering if this is the DOJ issuing an edict in the dying days of a lame duck presidency, the investigation into Google's monopolistic behaviour began under Trump 5 years ago.

A lot of us like me like Chrome with google search, as we are used to it, and just stick with it.

I recently moved onto win10 and they are pushing down our throats Microsoft edge which is built in on the toolbar, which I am not a fan of. So I have set everything back to chrome and google, even though I know google watches everything you browse. Maybe this is why my number of tracking cookies has increased by a large factor under win10 compared with previous win7, and have to delete them each week with a cookie cruncher program.

You do know that Micro$oft will stop supporting Win 10 in under a year?

I switched my browser search engines to Duck Duck Go earlier this year because I got tired of all of the algorithmic, sponsored and tiered crap Google shoved into the search results, obscuring what I was actually looking for.
