I don't really get the melodrama of most of the top comments in that the old thread nor the current headline. Everyone is bemoaning how this is what drives people to piracy... but does Chrome not work anymore? Is the bar for resorting to piracy that low? It's hard to feel sympathetic when the starting position is presented as "It's broken, we've been forsaken!" but then on inspection it turns out to really be a case of "It doesn't work in a way that fits our politics, we've been forsaken!" I get that there's a lot of idealism in play but the histrionics just make the author and the community look dishonest.
