Google is absolutely cooked as a web search engine, thanks to the current crop of LLM chatbot AI.
The scope of the harm it will do while slowly sinking into irrelevance is immeasurable, though.

EU-Gericht kassiert Milliardenbuße: Google: eins, EU: null
Das EU-Wettbewerbsrecht stößt an seine Grenzen: Der Internetriese Google entgeht mit dem Urteil des EU-Gerichts einer Milliardenstrafe. US-Digitalkonzerne bauen ihre Marktmacht nahezu ungebremst aus.Sebastian Edinger (junge Welt)
It's been interesting reading this #reddit thread. People are understandably upset about the prospect of #youtube showing ads during the pause screen. Lots of people threatening to leave YouTube, but at the end of the day, most won't.
There are alternatives. I've been running #tilvids for over 4 years now. We have great content creators like @thelinuxEXP sharing content. All people have to do is actually start voting with their eyeballs...

Google has been declared a monopolist, but will the company finally be broken up or are we about to see the limits of antitrust once again?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Rob Larson about where Google’s monopoly fight goes from here and what we should remember about how Microsoft evaded being broken up in the early 2000s.

Will Google’s Monopoly Be Broken Up? w/ Rob Larson - Tech Won’t Save Us

Israel’s genocide in Gaza depends on the infrastructure and services of tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Mohammad Khatami and Gabi Schubiner of No Tech for Apartheid about how tech workers are pushing back on the companies’ complicity and trying to end their relationships with Israel.

#Apple, #Google, and Meta are failing #DMA compliance, #EU suspects
Not even three weeks after the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) took effect, the #EuropeanCommission (EC) announced Monday that it is already probing three out of six gatekeepers—Apple, Google, and Meta—for suspected non-compliance.

Europejskie media pozywają Google. Wśród nich Agora. Chodzi o 2,1 mld euro

Why I use #Firefox
- The about:config page
- Mozilla cannot decrypt my data on their servers
- Translating web pages is also completely private
- Mozilla develops their own browser engine
- The best support for extensions on #Android
- A great picture-in-picture player
I #trust #Mozilla more than I trust #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, or any other company that makes #web browsers. This trust is based on the fact that Mozilla chooses the highest level of user privacy when developing services such as Firefox Sync, Firefox Translate, and others. A web browser is an integral part of a person’s #online life, so it makes sense to choose a #browser from a company that one trusts the most.

Rumor has it on the next Android update, Google's Bard AI will help you write your text messages. But there's a catch: the processing is done on Google's servers, not your device, so your messages will be sent to Google as you type them. It will be possible to disable the AI, though. If your messages are sent to Google, they will be stored for 18 months and can be seen by humans in "anonymized" form.
Google update shows how Bard AI may work with your messages app

People can be as upset about this as they want, but so long as they continue to watch #YouTube they continue tacitly supporting their user-hostile actions. If you really want to make a difference, stop watching, and tell content creators why. When you can convince them to move to platforms that don't shove ads down your throat every 3 minutes, THAT is when you'll see #Google change their tune.

YouTube’s ad blocker problems are just an Adblock Plus bug
Latest consensus is that YouTube performance issues seem to be Adblock Plus' fault.Ars Technica
But, hey, I might be wrong and the #W3C now fully believes in its new ethical web principles. In which case, they will no doubt take action and expel members that only exist because their business model relies on violating them.
#Google is fundamentally incompatible with the W3C’s ethical web principles and should be expelled from the W3C as it relies on violating section 2.5 (The web must…respect people’s privacy).
Also, §2.2 (The web should not cause harm to society).
Ditto #Facebook, etc.
Hey, maybe the good #Google folks at web.dev can write an article about how the #Firefox slow-down trick on YouTube works so other sites can implement it too.

Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation
Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "http://maps.google.com" to "http://google.com/maps".
Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers.
Didn't believe this was a thing until I actually saw it myself.
I bank at a small, local credit union. I recently cleared my autocomplete settings so plugged their name into #Google to get back to their homepage.
The Sponsored result IS NOT my bank's website. But is skinned the same. 100% a #phishing site served as a Google ad above the legitimate business website.
This is a major problem, my friends.
