        The spoiler effect doesn’t apply in this scenario. We aren’t stuck with 2 choices, either Chrome under Google or Chrome under another shitty corporate.

        If Chrome enshittifies, we have Firefox, Librewolf, Brave, Ironfox, Waterfox, Ungoogle Chromium, etc…

        Preferring that we enforce our laws regardless of which billionaire benefits is a vote for Trump? I didn’t realize that. I’ve seen the light now. Thank you.

        I think what they were saying is: two powerful, competing corpos is better than one huge and practically omnipotent corporation, which is what google currently is.

          Under normal circumstances, but i just have this suspicion that Musk will buy it using Russian and Saudi funding like was rumored for where he got the funding for Twitter.

          So whether that would be a better situation I guess is up to interpretation.

        We can’t continue selectively enforcing our laws against monopolies. (This is just dark humor. Citizens United is for the express purpose of ensuring that any anti-monopoly law enforcement we get is selective and political, for the rest of however long the US has left.)
