YouTube has over 2 billion active users. uBlock origin has about 20 million, if we're being generous. That's literally 1%. It is safe to assume no one at Google or elsewhere cares about our filters, certainly not enough to play a

Thanks for confirming your accusations are baseless and not rooted in any factual evidence.

It's directly related, perhaps you just struggle with comprehending the message? Where does your entitlement come from? I bet working in tech too long.

What makes you think you're entitled to anything, let alone a "normal" life, in this world? No one forces you to live in and participate in society, but if you choose to, it's at your own risk.

Fun fact: humans are the only species that drinks milk directly from other species. We're also the only species which drinks milk past infancy. Don't worry, though, it's "normal, natural and necessary".

"Wild" is the unreasonable expectation your data is "personal" after sharing it with a third party, under a terms of service agreement no less.

It's definitely not fixed: the (likely malicious?) redirect still happens for me now. How embarassing (for you).

Do you put "accidentally" in quotes to support your baseless accusation? Because you have provided no evidence of any wrongdoing, only biased speculation.

If you can't play videos on an M2, that's not a Youtube problem, that's a "you messed your computer up" problem.

Actually, I do: the fact most people use Chrome and not Firefox.

Virtually yelling and calling me "bro" doesn't form an argument for government intervention, but it seems to help you vent, so have at it.

Firefox share declined because the market objectively decided Chrome is a better browser. Framing it as Chrome "picking" on Firefox is just silly. And I say this as a die-hard Firefox user and fan.

Not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes users just prefer faster, better advertised, better supported software. To suggest Google is actively and wilfully interfering with <3% of browser market share is just so ridiculous, so foolish,

They are just that - philosophies. I live my life based on first-hand experience only, not the musings of a professor or even a poet. And I'm sorry to say it is as follows: not all people deserve compassion, nor patience. Most of the p

If they already took substantial market share, why would they need tofurther break Firefox users' experience? You just made my point for me.

Government authority is not absolute: it must derive power from some law or other legal basis, which does not presently exist for "websites [which] break in competitor's browser". And if you are suggesting creating precedence

This is a baseless accusation which defies logic. Chrome has 65.76% of the browser market share. Firefox has 2.93% of the browser market share, and of those, only some Android users were affected. And you're saying Google purposefully

Fined by whom? On what authority? It's fascinating how people clamor for more government regulation and control at the first sign of trouble, without reasoning about the implications of those things, despite a history replete with exam

Is that what you think happened here? Google made the search page blank for Firefox users to get them on Chrome? Or perhaps it's the work of Hanlon's razor.

How is DDG "better" than Google? In my experience it serves almost identical results. And it's now served from Microsoft servers, so the argument "it's more private" doesn't really hold water anymore.

That has less to do with being vegan and all to do with being aware of what micronutrients your body needs to thrive. Everyone benefits from B12 supplementation as it's no longer possible to derive it from the natural environment; even

Eating a variety of plant based foods on a daily basis meets all amino acid requirements. If you're not sure, you can use a site like Cronometer to validate it. It seems the more a person is worried about protein, the less they know ab

Can you point out any vegan/vegatarian suffering from an amino acid imbalance (while eating an isocaloric amount of food; i.e., not starving)? Even a case study would do to demonstrate your point.

Sounds like you briefly became aware of a cognitive dissonance and even stumbled upon an subconscious ideology, in this case Carnism. Melanie Joy speaks wonderfully on this subject and your realization: https://www.richroll.com&#

The speciesism in this comment is profound, as if you have some empirical evidence an octupus is more intelligent than, say, a pig; or whether a creature's lack of ability to reason (versus feel pain and suffer) gives way to treat it c
