Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).

There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox

Do it. Now.

– But I prefer Chrome because of…

If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.

Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.

@jwinstonsf @ploum @ubergeek But it's pretty much our last option. Mozilla is almost dead. Safari is macOS / Apple exclusive. We're fucked.

@cameronbosch @jwinstonsf @ploum it's not an option, and as long as Firefox is FLOSS, it's not dead.

@jwinstonsf @ploum @ubergeek And has anybody successfully hard forked Firefox long-term? I don't think so. If anything, Firefox dying might finally get more people upset and get Google declared a monopoly and FINALLY something might happen.
