What do you mean by this?
- cptskippy 8y ago> What do you mean by this? Supporting Google/Chrome is supporting corporate interest over user interest. We've seen them already taking steps to remove support for 3rd Party Ad Blocking and to ignore privacy related features.
- wnevets 8y ago> remove support for 3rd Party Ad Blocking that's a bit misleading, no?
- cptskippy 8y agoGoogle maintains plausible deniability but it's an odd coincidence that they first introduce their own Ad Blocker, and then soon after propose to remove an API that's necessary for 3rd Party Ad Blockers. If you keep in mind that Google is an Ad company then adding an Ad Blocker to their product doesn't make sense until you consider that by doing so they diminish the need for 3rd party Ad Blockers. Once you can successfully argue 3rd Party Ad Blockers are unnecessary then the argument for removing an API they depend on to function is easier.

- Anarch157a 8y agoFor the 99.9% non-technical people out there, we're gonna need an easy to install and manage Pi-hole like program that can be deployed on Windows and automatically set Chrome's proxy to 127.0.0.1.
- cptskippy 8y agoGoogle already ignores DNS in favor of hardcoded IPs or it's own DNS for certain things.

Therefore, getting into a monopoly position is kinda hard for the Mozilla guys. Browser monopolies are bad because the ruling browser's implementation will always compete with the web standards.
