At what point are we going to just throw our hands up and allow google to control every aspect of our internet experience?
So far:
-Dominating search
-Branching off into the world of ISPs (with their new fiber in Ohio)
-DNS
-Hosting/CDN
-Browser
-Social Media
-Image hosting
-Email
-Chat/Video/Phone
The way things are going, they will literally become the internet. Everything single page request you make will involve google in some way...
As it stands, I'm pretty sure 90% of the websites I go to have at least one js request, whether it be from adsense or analytics...
Having a single corporation controlling the internet scares me. Don't forget, Google is a corporation and cares more about profit than anything else.
