We'll probably either be forced to agree to be tracked by Google's systems or forced to sign in to every page.
There's no chance that anything positive will ever happen with the web again, it has gotten worse at every step for more than a decade. Especially when Google has any involvement with it.
- parineum 3y agoAll the things that led to getting rid of flash player have been pretty great. CSS is pretty incredible compared to what it used to be. JavaScript is still a train wreck but web assembly holds some promise there. WebGL is also pretty great.

Trackers being unable to stash long ttl cookies is being replaced by reliable ways to reidentify people... such as logging in.
