> If Chrome wants to make itself less attractive, you should celebrate.

I appreciate that Chrome reducing user autonomy in order to further Google's own business goals _should_ be a reduction in their competitiveness in a perfect market.

But the web browser market does not have perfect competition today, and I cannot recall a time when it had.

Regulators preventing Apple from controlling iOS browser engines but allowing Google to have de facto ownership of the web would be an example of governments picking winners and losers.

Public policy needs to move the market towards real competition.

If you read it, it shows the impact Google has on browser quality for end users.

Firefox onpy works because iOS means site owners have to support multiple engines

I wonder how many chrome fanboys remember the ie6 days.
