minus-squareaeternum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up62·11 months agoFirefox mother fucker, do you use it?
minus-squareargv_minus_one@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down2·11 months agoNobody’s going to use it when 90% of the web blocks everything except genuine Chrome on genuine Windows.
minus-squareaeternum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up29·11 months agoI have hope that the FTC will antitrust those cunts. At least I hope so. I’m not gonna hold my breath though.
minus-squareargv_minus_one@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up24·edit-211 months agoMicrosoft put Netscape and Stac out of business and got away scot-free, so yeah, not holding my breath either.
minus-squarevriska1@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoGood news there huge backlash to this so hopefully its stopped.
minus-squarephilluminaticakelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoThere isn’t much backlash at all. You just live in a Lemmy and github echo chamber.
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-211 months agoIt might still happen. Apple’s equivalent feature already rolled out in Safari.
minus-squarevriska1@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoThere would be huge backlash to that but do we know when Google plans to fully push this?
minus-squareMiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·11 months agoI’m worried there won’t be much of a backlash. People as a whole don’t seem to care very much about the bad behavior of these big tech companies. I hope I’m wrong.
minus-squarevriska1@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoTho there already backlash but we will see happens.
minus-squareMiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 months agoFrom technically savvy people, I imagine. The average user won’t understand the implications or won’t care enough to avoid it. That alone would lead to a HUGE amount of adoption if/when they deploy this.

Hopefully its never deployed.
