In light of articles all over Lemmy about Google pushing ManifestV3 onto Chrome and the majority of web users, isn't that an antitrust violation? in c/technology@lemmy.world

  2. It's the default browser for Android.

Number 1 isn't always true anymore but has momentum while 2 is fixed. Until something changes, Chrome is cemented into web browsing.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard in c/diablo@lemmy.world

From my experience the whole reason Blizzard has gotten bad is because they wanted to be an attractive sale.

Businesses often get really terrible before a sale or IPO.
