People forget that the next step of Google will be the inconvenience. Meaning they'll make Firefox work badly on YouTube and other google websites. Have a video not play here, bad css layout there. Subtle stuff that will make people hate to use Firefox and because Google is dictating the Web standards, they will do so, in fact they actually already do. I've already had a few websites using some kind of PWA framework, that was horribly slow on Firefox compared to Chromium based browser.

Would that not violate net neutrality laws?

Do we still have those?

And even if you did, would they matter?

No. Net neutrality is about ISPs, not about applications. It might violate anti-trust, but the military is a major counterweight to any attempts at disrupting Google (among others)

Yeah I don't give a flying fuck how much inconveniences they create, I rather would push a hoop with a stick and never use YouTube or the Internet again then using chrome.

I've been using Firefox since its debut and I never had any issues, slowdowns or problems with it, same with DuckDuckGo so Google can stick it somewhere where the light doesn't shine.
