Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, Google is highly unethical, and I avoid any and all Google related products whenever possible.

Selling Chrome, however, doesn't really stop them from doing damage.

The part about not allowing them ~~to bribe~~ pay other companies to use their search is a much better idea.

And regarding their influence over the internet... we need stronger regulation to prevent any company from having that much control over an essential service.
