Monopolies don’t require 100% of a market. Just enough to effectively manipulate a market.
One firm might only be 10% of a market. But if every other firm is only 1-2%, that 10% will have an outsized monopolistic ability to manipulate that market.

While I am by no means trying to defend Google, or their monopoly, I’m struggling to see how this time is a “clear example” of monopolistic behaviour?
Like, take for contrast the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) image format HEIC, which Apple has adopted as it’s main high-res format on iOS. It’s proprietary, and that fact is indeed worrying. However, the only reason I can figure out for Google’s move here being a ‘bad’ thing, is if you’re nostalgic about the .jpg extension…
I didn’t mean the choice of image format is a monopolistic behavior, but that the monopoly puts google in a position that any choice they make, be it a good or bad one, becomes an industry standard, without others having any choice in it.
Why not just say Rust? There isn’t really anything else that would provide good enough performance for a browser engine with modern heavy webpages while also fixing some major pain point of C/C++
And here we have a clear example of how Chrome’s almost monopoly is a bad thing for us.
Not almost monopoly.

I hope an opensource, non-C/C++ browser will pop up that can claw back from Chrome/Chromium. It’s about time.

Go is not an option? Zig neither? Even Java would be better (it’s used in high-frequency trading).
