Instead of trust busting these companies, the libertarian answer to them would be to invalidate their patents.
Google partially remains a search monopoly because of its search patents - of which it has many. If the state invalidates its patents and then moves out of the way, other competitors will naturally become successful.
There is no need to break up companies. Just take away some of their state-imposed advantages like patents.
