A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Here it is. Another nail in the open web coffin.

Or it will help develop a new open web that doesn't include these sort of things.

I have been using Firefox since forever so this sort of stuff doesn't bother me.

I'm happy to avoid websites that require it.

I am using Firefox too. However I also consume lots and lots of general purpose websites which in time probably become not consumable if you are not compliant. Which in turn either render FF not usable, or adopt the unfortunate standards.

This shit keeps radicalizing me about the internet more and more. Ughh.

The fact that Google is willing to push such an obviously self destructive move suggests they’re getting really desperate.

yay! I can't wait to have a virtual machine with windows and chrome just to get an appointment for public services. It will be nice when other OS and browsers will be only usefull to post memes. I do miss the days when I needed IE, because my shithole country made a lot of public stuff only compatible with that.
