You're being silly about it, but this is the core of anti-trust. You can't enter two different markets with two products and make sure they work better with each other than with any other product in the opposite market.

Or rather, you can, but it's illegal and the government is meant to come after you. Of course, the government hasn't been enforcing this for decades, ever since it was bought by companies that do this.

A company's product sends more signals back that can streamline usage of

mass hysteria!!

I'm at SEATAC airport trying to access www.google.com via the public
wifi with Firefox. Apparently you really don't like that because it's
stuck in a Recaptcha loop displaying captcha after captcha after
captcha.
