    Eh, I would think that if they’re under fire for being a monopoly any non monopolistic actions like funding their rivals will be pretty well received.

          This isn’t the first time that something being the default was considered part of a monopoly case. Most notably internet explorer in the Microsoft monopoly case.

          The big thing is that even if there are other options… A lot of people won’t ever bother to change it.

          The same way one is able to change the default browser on any OS? Because a lot of people claim that FF downfall is exclusively due “other browsers” being the default.

            I’ve been using Firefox since 2018 and I wish I started to use it much earlier than that but sorry this sounds like a lame excuse. Edge came as a default browser but no one used it when it was built on EdgeHTML engine. People love it now because with Chromium it is a better browser now.
