    Aren’t there any laws that could prevent such new features that will clearly increase an already existing quasi monopole?

      Sure do but unless Google gets really hurt (like 40% of their income) they’ll take the slap on their wrist change it a bit and continue on.

      Firefox makes most of it’s income (to pay staff and whatnot) is coming straight from Google. Why? So (IMHO) Google can go up to curt and say “Well we aren’t a monopole. Firefox is there and we even pay them”.

      Google could just stop paying them at any time, they’ve got that biggest slice of the browser cake after all.
