    Meh I think they might be overestimating their market position if that’s the strategy

      I think they’re in a better position than Microsoft when they tried to make ActiveX and Silverlight a thing. They own the two most visited websites. On top of that, they own the most used web browser and the most used operating system (judged by web use).

        Their behavior is that of a monopolist.

        However, they are not selling food or shelter. There ways to defeat their OS, is custom Roms for now, etc.

        Other solutions will need to be developed but it seems we have some products being worked on as we speak but not mainstream ready.

        It don’t be easy fight but if people vote with their money and feet, we customer should win in the end. That is unless daddy Sam boxes us in, and mega corps deff lobbying for that too.
