If Google gets broken up, TH-cam should be independent again. TH-cam as a company is big enough now, that it doesn't really need to be owned by Google anymore.
We got the government recognizing Google as a monopoly before GTA6 But on a serious note this would be really good cause if Chromium was on its own separate from Google then it would have to stop its plans of fighting adblock for it to keep up with other browsers (the reason for fighting adblock would also be removed since it only incentivized Google's monopoly, not too much incentive for Chrome itself)

@@adrianocs4Good point. When I first heard about the doje wanting to break up gaggle, android was the first thing I wondered about.

Won't be surprised if Google ends up trying to buy Reddit and make it more closed to keep its search still relevant after it is forced to sell Chrome and neuter its search engine.
to be honest, knowing the people who use reddit, they would likely stop using the platform altogether if that happened. something similar occurred last year when they made their API cost some 30k a month to use. crazy.

Right.. you know what will happen? Google would split Google Search, TH-cam and Chrome into separate companies, all ran by board members that sit on the board at all three companies. So while they may be separate companies on paper (and legally), they wouldn't be separate companies at all in practice. These separate companies (TH-cam, Chrome) would then "invest" their profits into Alphabet stock, so the parent company (Alphabet) wouldn't actually see any corporate revenue loss.

My only question is who did Google piss off?? I hope this happens to all monopolies everywhere. Even shadow monopolies that claim "different companies own"
What is this going to change? People are just going to use Google anyway because they're used to it. Even if they're being sued for being a monopoly which they are, but familiarity often makes the alternatives look like diet coke. Even if trying something different can be revolutionary and impactful, which can be intimidating, even fear invoking to some. That is just how society works. it is based on a familiarity system, which is reinforced by fear and power. But who am I to judge? I am just a cog in a complex, inter-connected system.

17:35 Not sure about this one. If you want the internet to be effecient and push web development to a more accessible and supported future you will need standards. Google is indirectly the biggest contributor to the Baseline. Literally the best thing that's happened in terms of web development is Baseline, and if Google is ripped off Chrome, the massive support for Baseline goes with it... Not looking forward to that.
@@swankshire6939 But the point is that the control over the web, through owning Chrome is dubious at best. It would be far better to ensure Google's services are browser-agnostic and not prioritized towards Chrome, rather than just sell Chrome outright
No, its about separating the search from the browser. Browsers don't make money, search engines do and Google pushes Google Search as default on Google Chrome (the most used browser).
@SirMadsen They aren't, technically. However in March the DOJ sued Apple for having a monopoly in the smart phone market and limiting services to other non apple devices (such as picture and video quality being degraded on purpose when messaging none apple phones) They're also accused of making it hard for Apple customers to use anything outside of Apple's market, such as apple pay, thus making it a monopoly within their own company. They also put special chipsets in headphones, even ones sponsored by Apple (Beats) that only work with Apple phones. Google pay and such doesn't charge its customers to use their products, but apple absolutely refuses to use 3rd party apps unless forced to.
it's really not. firefox has about 9 months worth of income left according to court documents related to this case. Mozilla, as a whole, isn't even considering firefox as part of their future plan they are aiming to be an advertisement company powered by AI. Firefox as we know it will very much, cease to exist as mozilla may not even last past 2025. Looking at the open source and linux community, i doubt anyone will want to take the endeavour of maintaining the firefox browser. We are talking about a community that still doesn't have its own fully functionnal web browser yet. I'm talking about gnome-web. that browser has been in development for a longtime and it still isn't usable on the modern web. Most projects piggyback off firefox
My favorite part about stuff like this is when the government finally steps in, they tell us that we were right all along, they did fuck up. As punishment we have decided to tell them they cant do it anymore and must sell it to someone else so they can do it instead (we already bought their stocks too!) and of course they must pay the federal government an arbitrarily large fine that we wont tell you what we will use it on.
Man how ignorant you are lol. Ads = money for Google. No money = bad product OR subscription required. If Google is acquired by another company that company is gonna need to make its money back right? How do you think its going to recoupe 20 billion USD? It's either going to ramp up the ads x10 or find a way to monetize your data x10 etc etc..
The government already broke Microsoft apart into three companies in the late 90s. Thats how later we got MSN, Bing, Gamespy, xgaming (later xbox), and there was a music thing too, but no one liked it because everyone had napster.
A paying customer of Kagi here. I'm more than happy with Kagi, but even then, some browsers, mainly mobile ones, have no option of switching to custom search engines at all.
Not true. I have Startpage on both my laptop and mobile. Sure, I had to DL Startpage app from Google Play Store, but it's an alternative to the big 4 or 5 bundled on your typical mobile device. It's now my default. There are other browsers that are privacy centred that, if you even give a cursory look, you'll find them and easily install on your mobile.
I'll be so glad they get after them for 'forcing' ads on us when we have no way to opt out, unless we remove ourselves. THAT has been driving me crazy for decades. In addition, their 'algorhythms' have you locked in on a particular topic constantly. They literally weaponized a very valuable resource. However, If you're studying something using You Tube, it's difficult to stay focused on the subject you searched for...or the video you're watching. Take movies. You can't watch them unless you're 'BOMBARDED' with ads. In MANY instances, those ads they push are NOT of any interest of mine. ...oh, there's more that goes unheard. Not enough space to mention it. Personally, I'm fed up.
If you take away google from the ecosystem what will happen is someone else will step in. That void will be worth too much money for companies to not try. It's going to be weird and annoying for a bit as a consumer, but in the long run this will be WAY better for all of us. Monopolies never help anyone but the owner of the monopoly
I always have hated how we have anti-monopoly laws yet we are the source of the largest monopolies in the world. Why is Disney still the owner of everything
Is it going to even change anything, chrome is so tied to Google. Like would this affect things like docs, gmail other things. Also how much influence will they have after. Like their “selling” could just be a legal separation where they still have connections. Mind you I haven’t watched the video yet. I think the biggest thing is probably no more chrome search data for googles ai.
My problem is that if Google breaks up and Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple lawsuits don't come immediately and don't result in similar break-ups, I feel tech will just get worse as those three get bigger and more powerful from the break-up
@ good question, chromeos is a subsidiary of chrome so if it's sold support might be limited but there will always be options to swap OS even if that happens, so, short answer, yes.
you're clueless RUNNING the internet costs money you think its just being magically hosted for free? getting rid of ads would just introduce subscriptions for practically every website on the internet
The reason for Yandex having as much market share as it does, is because almost no one in Russia uses anything but Yandex. It's a search engine designed by Russians for Russians, there are some people outside of Russia who use it, most of them are people who don't want their search results tampered with (because even DuckDuckGo started doing that, despite playing that they never would, and they later drop the whole privacy thing too). Baidu is rather interesting, it sounds like a China only search engine but yet the numbers seem to indicate that not many people in China use it. Edit - it wasn't called Netscape Classic back then, it was called Netscape Navigator. Just like the NES was never called the NES until it's era was over, it was just called the Nintendo. It's called Netscape classic these days to differentiate it from any reboots or copycats that may be circulating.
@@imlouisbogdan So: Google's entire business model relies on advertising revenue, which translates to inserting ads and different forms of ads at an increasing pace across the google platform. Chrome was the last place a user could avoid ads, the last place a user could customize their browsing experience. If you don't want to deal with the BS of an app, you can load things through chrome. Well, that's also been shrinking, and now we are at the point where chrome no longer supports adblocking... making it the worst option for anyone who is trying to have an ad-free browsing experience. If your assertion is that google losing the ability to continue develop an increasingly ad-saturated experience is somehow bad... maybe you misspoke? I currently use Firefox with Ublock and I see no ads, not on any google site or service. Other 3rd party sites and services are adblocked too. So as long as someone else is in charge of Chrome, they can do their own thing and if it results in ads, those will get blocked too. This also means Google will lose a major source of their data collection, pro privacy, pro adblock move, here.
I hope somebody takes control of Google Chrome I do not want to have to be forced to use a different internet browser and have to transfer all the tabs I have open to it
Monopoly is NOT illegal in the US. "A monopoly is when a company has exclusive control over a product or service in a specific market. It's not illegal to have a monopoly if it was obtained through superior products, innovation, or business acumen. However, it is illegal to maintain or establish a monopoly through improper conduct, such as predatory or exclusionary acts. This is known as anti-competitive monopolization."

this guy drops video after video. back to back. insane streak
If you're a monetized content creator on youtube, this won't be good. Especially if you rely on ad revenue
monetized content creators on youtube did well enough long before Google decided to rage war on ad-blockers. And that was just a few months ago.

The Dems caused the issue
And now the GOP is going to fix it

What is this going to change? People are just going to use Google anyway because they're used to it. Even if they're being sued for being a monopoly which they are, but familiarity often makes the alternatives look like diet coke. Even if trying something different can be revolutionary and impactful, which can be intimidating, even fear invoking to some. That is just how society works. it is based on a familiarity system, which is reinforced by fear and power. But who am I to judge? I am just a cog in a complex, inter-connected system.

Google is pissing me off. All I want is a native dark mode for Google Docs and Drive (on desktop) so I don't have to use an extension. Instead.... I get forced AI summaries that I never asked for and can't turn off??? Plsss why are they like this
You should be able to change it to dark mode with Google flags. It's experimental but it's what I use to make my work station bearable.
i honestly don't want google to sell chrome
_"Lisa you are tearing me apart!"_
17:35 Not sure about this one. If you want the internet to be effecient and push web development to a more accessible and supported future you will need standards. Google is indirectly the biggest contributor to the Baseline. Literally the best thing that's happened in terms of web development is Baseline, and if Google is ripped off Chrome, the massive support for Baseline goes with it... Not looking forward to that.
Wouldn't whoever buys Chrome just get that monopoly?
That's what I think is gonna happen, I'm not sure how product selling works though..
I mean just use firefox or some other browser. Chrome lowkey sucks anyway
The point is to give Google less control over the web. This lawsuit isn't about chrome it's about Google as a whole.
@@swankshire6939 But the point is that the control over the web, through owning Chrome is dubious at best. It would be far better to ensure Google's services are browser-agnostic and not prioritized towards Chrome, rather than just sell Chrome outright
No, its about separating the search from the browser. Browsers don't make money, search engines do and Google pushes Google Search as default on Google Chrome (the most used browser).
Now do Blackrock and BlackStone. They control almost everything
I wonder how Apple hasn't been labeled a monopoly. Regardless, im glad I switched over to Ghostery a while ago, can't trust google with your web data.
How is Apple a monopoly?
@SirMadsen They aren't, technically. However in March the DOJ sued Apple for having a monopoly in the smart phone market and limiting services to other non apple devices (such as picture and video quality being degraded on purpose when messaging none apple phones) They're also accused of making it hard for Apple customers to use anything outside of Apple's market, such as apple pay, thus making it a monopoly within their own company. They also put special chipsets in headphones, even ones sponsored by Apple (Beats) that only work with Apple phones. Google pay and such doesn't charge its customers to use their products, but apple absolutely refuses to use 3rd party apps unless forced to.

Switched to Firefox just a few weeks ago seems I made the right decision
80% of Firefox funding / revenue comes from Google... No google = no Firefox buddy..😆
it's really not. firefox has about 9 months worth of income left according to court documents related to this case. Mozilla, as a whole, isn't even considering firefox as part of their future plan they are aiming to be an advertisement company powered by AI. Firefox as we know it will very much, cease to exist as mozilla may not even last past 2025. Looking at the open source and linux community, i doubt anyone will want to take the endeavour of maintaining the firefox browser. We are talking about a community that still doesn't have its own fully functionnal web browser yet. I'm talking about gnome-web. that browser has been in development for a longtime and it still isn't usable on the modern web. Most projects piggyback off firefox
Firefox is kinda cooked right now... it has gotten bloated and is falling behind on features, I just moved away from firefox.
@@thomgizziz Not at all, they've got some features that unironically stop me from going back to chrome
The built-in screenshot feature helps a ton.
replying again because youtube removed my comment. firefox is done. they have 9 months of backup income left after that they will go bankrupt
So what's the point of a company being successful and having power if it's just gonna be declared a monopoly?
The EU does the same. Good on America.
My favorite part about stuff like this is when the government finally steps in, they tell us that we were right all along, they did fuck up. As punishment we have decided to tell them they cant do it anymore and must sell it to someone else so they can do it instead (we already bought their stocks too!) and of course they must pay the federal government an arbitrarily large fine that we wont tell you what we will use it on.
Celebration night, come on! Sorry, felt some dance flow through me. Bye bye Google Crap, the ad blockers won the war in the end.
Man how ignorant you are lol. Ads = money for Google. No money = bad product OR subscription required. If Google is acquired by another company that company is gonna need to make its money back right? How do you think its going to recoupe 20 billion USD? It's either going to ramp up the ads x10 or find a way to monetize your data x10 etc etc..
You sweet summer child. Manifest v3 is still happening. In fact, if this manages to finally kill Firefox Google will have their ultimate victory.
The government already broke Microsoft apart into three companies in the late 90s. Thats how later we got MSN, Bing, Gamespy, xgaming (later xbox), and there was a music thing too, but no one liked it because everyone had napster.

A paying customer of Kagi here. I'm more than happy with Kagi, but even then, some browsers, mainly mobile ones, have no option of switching to custom search engines at all.
Not true. I have Startpage on both my laptop and mobile. Sure, I had to DL Startpage app from Google Play Store, but it's an alternative to the big 4 or 5 bundled on your typical mobile device. It's now my default. There are other browsers that are privacy centred that, if you even give a cursory look, you'll find them and easily install on your mobile.
I think I need to find a new web browser. Thanks for the heads up.👍

I'll be so glad they get after them for 'forcing' ads on us when we have no way to opt out, unless we remove ourselves. THAT has been driving me crazy for decades. In addition, their 'algorhythms' have you locked in on a particular topic constantly. They literally weaponized a very valuable resource. However, If you're studying something using You Tube, it's difficult to stay focused on the subject you searched for...or the video you're watching. Take movies. You can't watch them unless you're 'BOMBARDED' with ads. In MANY instances, those ads they push are NOT of any interest of mine. ...oh, there's more that goes unheard. Not enough space to mention it. Personally, I'm fed up.
Pay attention to this and the packet capturing that will go in when tiktok is "banned'. Put it together Muta
Being weird and slightly paranoid isn't putting it together like you think it is.
If you take away google from the ecosystem what will happen is someone else will step in. That void will be worth too much money for companies to not try. It's going to be weird and annoying for a bit as a consumer, but in the long run this will be WAY better for all of us. Monopolies never help anyone but the owner of the monopoly

I always have hated how we have anti-monopoly laws yet we are the source of the largest monopolies in the world. Why is Disney still the owner of everything
Is it going to even change anything, chrome is so tied to Google. Like would this affect things like docs, gmail other things. Also how much influence will they have after. Like their “selling” could just be a legal separation where they still have connections. Mind you I haven’t watched the video yet. I think the biggest thing is probably no more chrome search data for googles ai.
Google in 1999: "Don't be evil."
Everyone else in 2024: "Don't be Google."

Good. Get some sort of foundation set up to control Chrome’s development as FLOSS, like Apache or the Linux foundation.
It'd be great if they turned chrome into a "TOR" like "project" otherwise I don't really believe this does much 🤷
My problem is that if Google breaks up and Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple lawsuits don't come immediately and don't result in similar break-ups, I feel tech will just get worse as those three get bigger and more powerful from the break-up
Oh snap technocracy how shitty. The government has always been google.

Yes it absolutely does. Without ads we'd have no free services anymore.

The reason for Yandex having as much market share as it does, is because almost no one in Russia uses anything but Yandex. It's a search engine designed by Russians for Russians, there are some people outside of Russia who use it, most of them are people who don't want their search results tampered with (because even DuckDuckGo started doing that, despite playing that they never would, and they later drop the whole privacy thing too). Baidu is rather interesting, it sounds like a China only search engine but yet the numbers seem to indicate that not many people in China use it.
Edit - it wasn't called Netscape Classic back then, it was called Netscape Navigator. Just like the NES was never called the NES until it's era was over, it was just called the Nintendo. It's called Netscape classic these days to differentiate it from any reboots or copycats that may be circulating.
Basically, this is good news for anyone who doesn't want to see ads.
This is the worst news for anyone who doesn't want to see ads. This is literally the worst possible news lol.
@@imlouisbogdan So: Google's entire business model relies on advertising revenue, which translates to inserting ads and different forms of ads at an increasing pace across the google platform.
Chrome was the last place a user could avoid ads, the last place a user could customize their browsing experience. If you don't want to deal with the BS of an app, you can load things through chrome.
Well, that's also been shrinking, and now we are at the point where chrome no longer supports adblocking... making it the worst option for anyone who is trying to have an ad-free browsing experience.
If your assertion is that google losing the ability to continue develop an increasingly ad-saturated experience is somehow bad... maybe you misspoke?
I currently use Firefox with Ublock and I see no ads, not on any google site or service. Other 3rd party sites and services are adblocked too.
So as long as someone else is in charge of Chrome, they can do their own thing and if it results in ads, those will get blocked too.
This also means Google will lose a major source of their data collection, pro privacy, pro adblock move, here.
I hope somebody takes control of Google Chrome I do not want to have to be forced to use a different internet browser and have to transfer all the tabs I have open to it

Monopoly is NOT illegal in the US.
"A monopoly is when a company has exclusive control over a product or service in a specific market. It's not illegal to have a monopoly if it was obtained through superior products, innovation, or business acumen. However, it is illegal to maintain or establish a monopoly through improper conduct, such as predatory or exclusionary acts. This is known as anti-competitive monopolization."
