I wrote to some senators today about this and also filed an FTC complaint against Google. Talked to a few friends inside Google as well and they are also against it. Firefox is going to be my default moving forward. There is no reason or way to discuss it with technical merits anyway. Nobody can create a new issue on that repo, nor can they create a PR. Comments on reviews are also disabled. Many of us are at technical spots that can do this. We need to bring back "Works best with Mozilla Firefox" pop-overs.

Here is a copy of a letter I have sent out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36889971 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36889971 Basically my arguments were it's anti-competitive, against the open web, and a risk to country's security agencies. The latter while a valid argument is to hopefully rattle politicians and government agencies.
