Why Would Google Want to Kill the Web?

Is Google “killing the Web?” Medium contributor Roy Pessis seems to thinks so. His theory is that by allowing Google to dominate our Internet usage through its search features — the Chrome browser in particular — we’re allowing Google to expose us to more advertising, all while it stifles creatives and Internet users. To which I say: You’re doing it wrong.

Pessis is no slouch, he’s been navigating and writing about the Internet for years. However, it’s difficult to take what he says on board in light of all our sharing tools and other services.
