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.

@ploum Or work to cripple the telemetry and undesirable features of Chrome.

Firefox is introducing functionality where the browser silently disables plugins/extensions on Mozilla-specified sites.This makes me feel that "just use FF" isn't exactly a panacea. It's a choice of overlords.

@damnitjanet you really should look into what that feature really does and how it works. nothing silent about it, big yellow warning bar that an addon was disabled, for instance.

@metasieben I think you think I'm making an argument that I'm not. I'd prefer not to argue points that I haven't made. Thank you.
