I'm surprised to see so many people in this thread saying "write a strongly worded letter!" (or something along those lines), and so few saying we need to build a better browser without this crap in it, which has been the traditionally successful answer to attempts to privatize the Web.
- Tao3300 3y agoWe already have one, and building a browser is a nightmare.
- strix_varius 3y agoBefore doing this, Google was careful to make it as difficult as possible to build a replacement for Chrome. Apple struggles to make Safari capable. Mozilla struggles to make Chrome-first websites work in Firefox. Building a new browser is a Herculean task. Pragmatically, I'm hoping that a Chromium spinoff like Brave (or Edge!? Could MS be the hero we need?) will turn the privacy switches on, WEI off, and get enough market share to make WEI infeasible.
