Google is a monopolist that acts like a monopolist. Its main revenue source is advertising. So it will use its monopoly power to secure advertising.

You cannot expect Google to act against its own self-interest only because you ask nicely. You have to stop giving them the market power to do it.

Have they won the game of capitalism by becoming a monopoly?

I don’t expect Google to act against its own will, but they should.

I don’t know if they won the game of capitalism but their market power and profit incentive are facts.

If you don’t want to stop using Chrome, then your alternative is to buy a controlling share of Alphabet and appoint a Board that forgoes advertising revenue in exchange for being nice to adblock users.

Of course google is also to blame, but I think the point people are trying to make is that you should avoid chrome where you can, if your employer is forcing you to use chrome, then maybe mention once or twice that you would like to use firefox, if they ignore it then just go on with your life and maybe use firefox on your home pc/androidphone. It's not about being perfect with everything you do, just change the things you can.

I don't think they were talking about people who are forced to use chrome.

Yes, the worst are the techies who should know better but insist on using chrome because "it feels slightly faster, therefore I have no choice but to use it." Such people pretending to be victims is complete nonsense.
