Hopefully this stops WEI as it would allow Google to have a total monopoly over the internet.

It is impossible for a company to have a "total monopoly over the internet" because the internet has a decentralized design.

It is pretty easy to change your default web browser, compared to changing your operating system [Microsoft], your social network of friends [Facebook], or your auction site [Ebay]. Microsoft, Facebook, Ebay, etc all have a far greater lock on their markets because a single person cannot make a switch without degrading their experience.
