Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

No government has the balls to act. More accurately, the lobbyists seem to be quite effective and the politicians often spineless and self-serving.

We'll hit them where it hurts. Market share. Google, you're no longer trusted to dictate web standards anymore. Websites must support Firefox as well as chrome. We need Firefox to have enough market share that companies wouldn't risk losing x% of their userbase and therefore revenues.
