>Thanks. The summary seems to be: Google is a big player in many markets, but not a monopoly.
And the combination thereof is an unholy abomination.
Namely the unholy trinity of Browser + Malvertising + Search. Nothing can compete against Google so long as that trinity stands, and it protects all the other mono/duopolies from incursions with impunity.
The likes of ChatGPT are giving Google serious concerns over their search business.
In any case, it's easy to switch to an alternative search engine. Users seems to like Google Search enough to stick with it.
