Chrome 72 Arrives With Code Injection Blocking, New Developer Features (venturebeat.com)
Following Mozilla's footsteps, Google has released Chrome 72 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. From a report: The release includes code injection blocking and new developer features. You can update to the latest version now using Chrome's built-in updater or download it directly from google.com/chrome. With over 1 billion users, Chrome is both a browser and a major platform that web developers must consider. In fact, with Chrome's regular additions and changes, developers often must make an effort to stay on top of everything available -- as well as what has been deprecated or removed -- most notably, Chrome 72 removes support for Chromecast setup on a computer. To set up a Chromecast, you'll now need to use a mobile device.
As this isn't a major release, there aren't many new features to cover. Chrome 72 for Windows, however, blocks code injections, reducing crashes caused by third-party software. The initiative to block code injections in Chrome started last year, with warnings letting users know that Chrome was fighting back. Those warnings are now gone, and Chrome blocks code injections full stop. Further reading: All the Chromium-based browsers.

Google doesn't hold a monopoly on search. Not within the US anyways.
Was just browsing yesterday's logs. 1400 hits from Google followed by 100 from Baidu of all things then Bing, Yandex and DDG each with about 40.
Assertion Google doesn't hold a monopoly on search is simply not a statement I care to waste my time entertaining.
