Google to stop treating EU antitrust remedy as a “promotional opportunity”:
Google and the European Union have been fighting for several years over Android's default search engine. Just like when the EU took issue with Microsoft bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, the EU Antitrust enforcers don't want Google using its Android operating system monopoly to prop up Google Search and Google Chrome. The solution the EU came to—just like it did with Windows—is a "ballot" system that pops up during setup and asks users to pick a starting browser and search engine from a list. The only problem? Google was charging companies to appear in this list. It was basically an ad vector. In a blog post this week, Google says it will stop doing that.

Google should just quit now and let DuckDuckGo take over. Sure, it'll mean a bunch of pink hairs will be out of work, but they can apply for welfare.

Purple-haired Jewish trannies don't have to apply for welfare, they're part of their nepotist network. They can go work for FAGMAN* big tech companies or Blackrock and buy out the house you grew up in at a markup, then they can sell it to rich Jews or Chinese at an additional markup.
* FAGMAN is a very appropriate acronym for big tech: Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix.

If you're trying to channel Ethanol_Fueled, you're doing a bad job of it. At least he is sometimes funny.

Indeed. You get a good laugh from him, then you feel bad for laughing at what you're laughing at.
