I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

In countries like SK or even Japan I'd consider the opportunity that it's not bribes, just culture. Where average Western European person thinks pluralism is good because of living and letting live, average Middle-Eastern person thinks pluralism is good because it makes their enemies complacent, and average SE Asian person thinks it's bad because we need order. One can add average Central-Eastern Europeans thinking monopoly can be deserved and it's practically better if morally worse.

OK, a bunch of stereotypes, sorry.
