Google is being blatantly anticompetitive, and significantly abusing monopoly status to further monopolies elsewhere. And the govt won't come to help in any near future, so it's up to the rest of us to back them off.
(Now, why firefox? Well, its not because FF allows better tracking, but instead that nobody gets the tracking benefit. It's not a 'screw users with FF', but 'screw Goog with no metrics'.)
- izacus 6y agoHow does redirecting people to a browser who actively blocks tracking help publishers who want to track the crap out of you? :)
- throw14082020 6y agoLike you rightfully implied in your last paragraph, there is no incentive for websites to ask people to go to firefox. So they won't do it. I see companies siding with Google because they'll need to, to survive or grow, in the short run anyway.
