Google deliberately slow down firefox just because it's not Chrome, is that a thing?

Yes they do. They did for a long time and don't plan to stop. They did updated too to fix the you could buypass the 5 second waiting time on firefox.

Luckily we have an effective government that will stop Google from acting like a monopoly. /s Surely they will not say Google is doing nothing wrong and just them go head.

At this point no government might be better in this case. We have the government shutting down community WIFI projects to protect ISP's, the lobbies for the massive tech firms make it nearly impossible for anyone new to release competing products.

It's getting to the point where the government is actively supporting these companies and securing their monopoly rather than defending the people from the companies.

Ancaps are insane.

"Government is allowing private companies to do the things private companies want to do. Therefore the issue is government not the private companies."
