"If Google is prevented from making a browser, then they could even move the focus of computing away from the web browser..."

If that ever happened, I think that would be a vast improvement. There is much more to the internet than just the web and a handful of ports used by browsers.

Internet advertising mainly lives on the web; it's maninly delivered through those ports opened for the web/apps.

Internet advertising also lives in the YouTube apps, social networks like instagram, or pop ups in free apps, to name a few.

And those are way more annoying, since they're baked into thected by ad blockers...

And they use the same ports a web browser does. The ones that are always open on all networks. Because the internet is so focused on the web browser.
