When you visit the Google's chatbot bard's website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat's. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?

    Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta. Pretty much all the big tech companies really need a visit from the FTC.

    Honestly the FTC should be handing out antitrust suits like candy. Late stage capitalism has created a bit of a target rich environment, if only the FTC could take advantage.

    Courts have been blocking them consistently. They've been a touch more aggressive, but Congress needs to pass more aggressive laws. Many of these companies are vertically integrated, not horizontally - and the laws aren't really equipped to deal with that.

    Why not Apple, the closest company to having a monopoly on software running on smart phones in the USA.

    Apple and Google have both done similar things. Osx will ask you to use safari if you install a different browser. Google shows "it's better in chrome!" on basically all of their properties if you're using non chromium based browsers. No one seems to really give a shit.

    Honestly the way Microsoft handles things rubs me worse than Google. It's specifically the way that Microsoft watches what you do, and then tries to stop and convince you to use their stuff instead. And they don't respect you saying no once, instead trying to stop you at every step in the process.

    Google does the same.

    I don't use Chrome. Every single time I go to any Google service, it tells me I need to be using Chrome. It doesn't take "no" for an answer; it's a constant nag.

    Google Docs especially gets mad and doesn't even let you paste without formatting.
