I don't understand what everyone is afraid of. If it truly is the case that Chrome disables ad-block functionally, can't we just fork Chromium and any necessary components? I have no concern over Google taking over Internet share, just as people were concerned with Microsoft taking over PC share in the 90s. Maybe I'm not politically aware, but these dooms day corporate reign scenarios you all have nightmares about seem pointless.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoAntitrust action is why Google exists, and why you aren't still using Internet Explorer 6. And you can't "just fork" because the problem is compatibility/standards. As long as most people/browsers use Chrome, any fork must follow Google's decisions or else it won't work with websites properly. We already see this to some degree now.
