Chrome's relationship with its userbase can now be considered "coercive", honestly. After all that feedback on the extension manifest, they chose the worst of the options for users, and the best option for Google.
Given gorhill's investigation of their SEC filing and what it reveals, I do not believe anyone should be using Chrome anymore. That doesn't really matter, because once ad-blockers end up hamstrung in a future release, that will just force everyone over to Firefox or Edgeium.
@shaderphantom It's be coercive for years I put chrome users in the same bucket as apple users in that they deserve what they get. I do have a junk gmail account. Debating if I should get rid of it or keep it as my spam email account.
@Jason_Dodd "they deserve it" is kind of a shitty thing to say that blames users for Google's actions and not Google, don't you think?
@shaderphantom Sure. That is not to say Google shouldn't be held accountable for it's actions. They most definitely should. But at this point only the most oblivious people don't know Google is a bad actor.
I fear St this point they sre in bed with various bad actor States and we're in a pickle
