I would say what we want to get to is what we were talking about earlier, which is where browsers compete on merit, consumers choose a particular browser because it offers the best features, the best ability security, privacy. And we want to get to a situation where that is how browsers are gaining market share, not through control of an operating system, or a search engine, or anything like that, not for using one platform to get to other through merit. And that's what we want to get to. And we don't care which gatekeeper is doing now to competitive behavior. We've got a big list, we're working our way down it. And we will try and eliminate each of these types of way that browser competition or web out competitions undermined. Google's on the list for a couple of the behaviors. They're not at the top of the list, but they are on the list. And we're just going to work down the list.
