You are dead wrong. Why do you think capitalist countries have antitrust legislation? Companies can make more money as monopolies. It's a place where most companies aspire to grow to.

Most employers report a normal 40 hours per week on paper, but that is usually the minimum expected.
The fact is the Chrome efficiently runs many tabs. This guy wants an extreme use case to be primarily supported or the browser must suck.
