If one definition of evil is its wanton destruction of everything that is good and whole in the world, then Google is an active agent of evil.

It is setting out to destroy the world wide web and steal the livelihood of everyone who builds and depends on the web.

I honestly don't know how to mobilise normies to care about and stop this evil. It probably seems too niche and incremental until it's too late.

Oh yeah, and in the UK an ex-Google exec is now running the BBC. . .

How will this work? Can only be browser specific. So recommendation is to use #firefox anyway instead of Chrome.
In Firefox the website will hopefully be displayed as published even in the future.

@SebastianGallehr I certainly hope so, though think about the number of people on Chrome! I think patent registration is a record of exploration and intent, not a business plan or indication of exactly how something may be used. But the direction of travel is clear.

tbf I really struggle with firefox for many reasons - the AI move of mozilla, and how so. many. websites. widgets. just don't work with it - and am always on the brink of ditching it. but the alternatives seem bad in other ways!
