Google has said it finds Microsoft's £22.65b bid to buy Yahoo "troubling" and wants regulators to scrutinise the proposed deal.
In a blog, Google argued that if the the take over of Yahoo should go ahead, it will limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors' email and instant messaging services.
Microsoft made an unsolicited offer for Yahoo on Friday, and Yahoo has said it is considering the proposal.
Microsoft's Kevin Johnson said that the combination of the two companies would create an entity that could better compete with Google.
"Today the market [for online search and advertising] is increasingly dominated by one player," he said.
But that view is not held by the top executives at Google.
