I will stop using Chrome entirely if this change is made.
- gerdesj 8y agoMe too.
- whatever_dude 8y agoSame. I've already been on the fence but this would be the last straw.
- gerdesj 8y agoSilly me, did I just say "me"? That'll be me and my customers (probably not enough to make much of a dent in the stats but rather more than a few users)
- pdimitar 8y agoI've been a double user of Chrome and Firefox for the last several months. Firefox irks me in some ways still but I've gradually grown accustomed to it. It's also much more customizable. Indeed, if Chrome breaks uBlock Origin and uMatrix, I am just ditching it and will only use it for testing.
- fantyoon 8y agoSame for me. There is no real reason that I use Chrome rather than any other browser. I switched to it like 10 years ago for whatever reason and I had no reason to switch away from it since then. I use Firefox on mobile, despite all the issues I encounter with it, because its the only browser that allows me to use uBlock origin. I will no doubt switch for that reason to Firefox on Desktop too.

- driverdan 8y agoDon't wait, switch now.
- needle0 8y agoThose are hollow threats. If you really care, you all really ought to stop using Chrome now, regardless of whether they go through with this. Bitching on forums aren’t going to register on their metrics. Only actually stopping use will.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoCounterpoint: "Hey, we released that new feature and lost 2% market share" sends a message.
- stonogo 8y agoAnd that message is "Oh well, it would cost too much to revert that feature. We'll just shove some more ads into the search product telling people to 'upgrade' to Chrome."
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoSurely they'd do that regardless if market share dips?
