Make no mistake, what Google is doing is absolutely dangerous. Malvertisements are definitely a thing. Back in 2010, I got a virus from an ad on a meme site that just went through and trashed my hard drive.

It's unfortunate that there are use cases out there where Chrome is absolutely required. Firefox can't display large directories, for instance. It'll lock up while chromium browsers work fine.

was and still is

Me when I lie.

While that's a better solution on paper, it's naive. Even if you change it 100% of the time, if you need these measures to make people comply now, you'll need them then, too. You can tell people whatever you want, but the fact is, they're going to put themselves first most of the time. The guy who fucked around and made himself late for work is always gonna prioritize getting there on time no matter what until that clearly represents further hardship.

The headline is slimy

Are you referring to the use of the word "killshot"? Otherwise, the headline says exactly the same thing.

Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

No implication of outright ownership, just that they can't take away the offline installers. I mean, I guess it doesn't outright say "that you've already downloaded," but given the length, I'd say that's a passable omission.

Bro, you do realize you're criticizing attempts to stop speeding in school zones on the basis of your own convenience, right? Like, can you not see how bad that looks? And on a shit post forum of all places, bro, wtf?

I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don't play it, but there's no one who will profit from it who should.

NGL, if this were taller, it's exactly the kind of thing I'd use as my phone wallpaper.

I'd just like to point out that WordPress is GPL, so anyone could do whatever they want with the code, including Auttomatic. If people using the software in a way that, although uncool, is totally something they agreed to, the best bet would be to leave WordPress as-is and spin continued development into a new product with a new license. Would people like it? No. Do people like this, though? Hell no.

Please, DOJ, smash Google with a hammer and redistribute the pieces!

This is happening because the site is shitty so don't use the shitty site. Sounds pretty f'n on-point to me.

Also works fine on Boost, links to a post on !technology@lemmy.ml

Maybe you should open an issue about it?

I use Floorp and Startpage. I don't trust DDG after the whole Microsoft debacle. Though, I'm not really that hot on Startpage since they use the same deceptive advertising practices as Google and Bing (disguising ads as results).
