I usually have to listen to a song several times before it fully "clicks" if I like it or not, so music streaming subscription is great for being able to grab any song I think I might like and throw it in trial playlist. Back when I bought/acquired music, I would skip over most music I might like because the effort wasn't worth it for a song I wasn't sure if I liked or not. So streaming has worked really well for me for music discovery at least.

On the bright side, I'm still getting my $8 a month early adopter price for Google music all access (now YouTube music).

They were considering blocking Google from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine, which is almost all of Firefox 's revenue.

It kinda makes sense, chome being the dominant browser gives Google a search advantage, and the other alternatives (like safari and Firefox) both make deals with Google to have it be the default as well.

But removing those deals would be more disastrous for Firefox than for Google.

We avoided the worst outcome, they were considering killing Firefox to prevent a Google internet monopoly.
