They have no leverage over the monopoly google has on the browsers marketshare. the only people who can change things are the end users by switching over to non-chromium browsers, but we all know this won't happen

Google didn't have more money than Microsoft. Google those days just had a better product, and still a shitton of money. These were still the days of "don't be evil" for Google
