Google Offers Europeans Choice to Download Rival Web Browser
Come sfruttare l'incompetenza per fingere rispettare la norma alla lettera. Speriamo che le persone preposte in UE sappiano cosa sia il WHATWG, come (non) funzionino i Living Standard e come Google rimanga padrone del Web attraverso di essi anche se un paio di persone in più si scaricano un browser diversamente alternativo come Firefox. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-18/google-offers-europeans-c... Starting Thursday and following a software update, users in the EU opening Google’s mobile app store will be presented with a choice of alternatives to Google search and Chrome. The Alphabet Inc. unit said options will vary by market, but Microsoft Corp.’s Bing and Norway’s Opera are notable competitors in the European search and browser market respectively. The changes could help Google avoid additional fines after being scrutinized by the EU for almost a decade. The European Commission, the bloc’s antitrust body, last year fined Google 4.3 billion euros ($4.8 billion) for strong-arming device makers into pre-installing its Google search and Chrome browser, giving it a leg up because users are unlikely to look for alternatives if a default is already preloaded. The EU ordered Google to change that behavior and threatened additional fines if it failed to comply.
