> I don't understand the Google hate, I don't know where it comes from.

Surveillance, advertising, bloat, ever worsening UX of their software, random product shutdowns, random bans & lack of human support to resolve false positives. I could go on.

What people like is software that lets them accomplish what they need unobtrusively. People like Apple's store to the extent it doesn't let garbage and adware in. But people also dislike Apple for not allowing sideloading.

Perfectly consistent position to have, IMO.

I like Google search as well, and I'll look at a bunch of ads on it if I have to, but I don't see the logical connection here how that implies we need to tolerate bad standards in web browsers or the android platform. Spin-off ads and search from android and chrome and search will be just as great and we don't need to infest web standards with rules that only exist to serve the ad business.

I don't practise any double standard here either. Same goes for apple. If they use their app store to stop competition by for example Spotify to promote apple music, break that up as well. The same thing for amazon, if they use AWS money to price dump on eCommerce or disadvantage third-party sellers, break it up.

I don't have any favourites here, whenever one of these companies engages in activity that is clearly bad for the ecosystem just for their own benefit I would like to see a very rapid and proactive response.

Both Google and Apple should be broken up. All the other FAANG companies too, they're all too big.
