I don’t think it’s fair to place the blame on the user. It’s not their fault for using a browser they like. Blame those whodient prevent or try to breakup google owning the browser. The damage is done an most of chromium’s base won’t know shit about this or why.
Everyone else should do something just not the holly user. No, they are not to be bothered by the consequences of their actions.
Well my friend when everbody flocked to Chrome or one of the various clones because they like it they gave power to Google whether they like it or not. And now Google is using this power against the user in it's best interest because they like it (to be read "can").
But do they like Chrome, or do they just use it out of habit, and because it's the default on Android phones and constantly marketed on Google's search engine? Perhaps they use it because it's the "good enough" solution that's dropped right in front of them?
