Reminder #891,814 to stop using Chrome and Chromium browsers and to stop supporting Google's web monopoly.
3 more will do it! :p
Why Chromium based browsers? I understand using Chrome might help Google, but how does using other browsers based on Chromium help them? By increasing market share?
Yes. It gives them leverage when working on standard specs. And it can lead to stagnation. The latter didn't happen yet, but they already tried to push their agenda multiple times already.
I could argue that it already did when Google abandoned JPEG XL.
That is a solid argument. I second this.
The only silver lining was they were also going to disable third party cookies, but they nixed that idea and kept this one. I’m done rooting for chrome.
They were gonna axe the cookies in return for a generalized profile in your browser or something.
This can be problem for Firefox and Chromium based Browsers, too. If the Website decides that Manifest v3 is mandatory to visit their site, they can block any access from Browsers with v2 running in the background easier than before.
A site that does this is a site I'll never visit.
The other 95% of all visitors will still want to see this page. If the most visited websites use such a blocking method, then most visitors will use Chrome.
This is why Google is a monopoly and needs to be broken up.
I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don't tolerate. I don't use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.
Wait what? LOL
Firefox is compromised because Mozilla bought an AD Company but Brave, an AD Company is not? Brilliant.
You're both right, Brave has been compromised since the beginning, but Mozilla is also compromised.
All Chromium based browsers are implicitly accepting money from an ad company because Google makes Chromium.
