I predicted this would happen months ago when Google was found guilty of the same issue in Russia. Google can't force bundle it's browser and services. Nor can it pay manufacturers to do it. No surprise here at all. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    +1.... IE, Edge, Safari, plus all the bloat that you can't uninstall that comes on any phone from any brand.  Short list on windows 10.  Candy Crush, Candy Crush Soda, Hidden City, Messaging, Minecraft, Disney Magic Kingdom, Cortana, Groove Music, Xbox.

    It will be nice to see less bloat but at the same time google has had pretty good built in apps overall. I probably would download most of them but really the fact is I would do it because I want to and not that they are forced on me.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
