I'm sure our octogenarian leaders who are oh so internet savvy will fully understand the nuances associated with browser market share will craft laws to resolve this issue.
/s unfortunately.
Truth be told.. Google applies $$$ to our aged elected officials who don't understand what a browser is much less the nuances behind chrome and chromium based browsers. And will vote by what their campaign donators say... :(
Hot take: the narrative that politicians do not understand technology due to their age is giving them too much credit. They have entire offices full of staffers whose entire job is to explain these things to them in ways they understand, as I am sure they have for some of the more important things. They just don't care because their purpose is to serve corporations, not the public.
Sadly... This is probably pretty accurate for most of our modern politicians. I'm sure there's the odd official who cares... But they are a vast minority.
