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.

Yeh, it does not bother me, will be glad of not getting those tiresome updates that take ages to load and slow my machine down. 

last update was AI copilot in the background and it caused my machine to slow down so much I uninstalled AI copilot.

I just do not fancy win 11 at the moment.

I would have imagined that Trump would have reversed this the moment he got into office, but with Google a competitor to Musk's AI plans... maybe not?
