> FUD. Why should we want "behaves exactly as the browser does", when browsers (in fact, mostly Google's) are in fact turning against their users? To avoid introducing vulnerabilities, the way lots of antivirus MITMs do, for example. Like it says in the rest of your quote. > Especially Google's, because that's one of the ways you can still block ads and modify pages to have them displayed as the user(-agent) wants, while it continues to slowly remove abilities from browser extensions. Blocking ads by MITM? Yikes. Extensions are very much a better tool for that. The idea that browser vendors are going to slowly cripple them so that they’re no longer an effective blocking tool is… wrong. But anyone who was on Chrome can use Firefox anyway. > IMHO the whole "security" thing has turned into a power-grab for companies to enforce their control over users, which is the most disturbing part. We want security, but also control, which is not the "security" they want. FUD. > Edit: yay, instant downvotes! I hope you enjoy being herded by Google, because that's where the future is heading if we don't oppose. Don’t.
