I get why Chrome has to prioritize the things it does, but this kind of reasoning feels so backwards to me.
I'm sorry that blocking cross-site tracking makes it harder for ad companies to make money, but that's just not my concern. My browser is supposed to act in _my_ interests. It's the _user_ agent, after all. I'm not going to give any sympathy to the company that built the internet into the ad-supported hellscape that it is when they now use their browser monopoly to try to protect their business model.
- bbor 3y agoI guess my point is: if you’re mad at this but still support capitalism you’re being inconsistent. The only possible fix for this is government action, and capitalism has led to regulatory capture which means we get basically 0 government action EDIT: this is disregarding the “everyone boycott display ads companies and we’ll kill the industry with the invisible hand of the market” but I don’t have a ton of faith in that one
