    I haven’t seen a credible argument along those lines. The credible arguments I’ve seen are:

    I didn’t see any related to advertising Chrome across their services, which indicates to me that it’s more a strong case at all, at least not compared to the other allegations. And I’m not sure how it would be anti-competitive unless they prevented other browsers from advertising or messed with who saw advertisements for other browsers.

    Maybe the EU has more relevant laws (e.g. they have a requirement for OS vendors to allow use to choose their own browser), idk, but I don’t see how advertising their own products violates antitrust. I do see a lot of other viable antitrust allegations though.
