Listen to the Andrew Torrez Mr. Fantastic Signature Breakdown to found out!

So, unless I missed it, the Google complaint completely missed the most troubling element of Google's monopolistic reach: Chromium. Chromium is the codebase beneath Chrome, and nearly all of its "competitor" web-browsers, including Microsoft Edge. (but notably not Mozilla Firefox). The Chromium architecture contains the codebase for: the user interface, graphics rendering engine, and Javascript interpretation for these browsers. Chromium browsers are now such a dominant market force that a significant percentage of the entire internet has been reshaped on a software level to fit it, including the websites of nearly every major newspaper and media outlet..

very interesting - so how does Chromium's monopoly power hurt competition? What is it doing?
