It's funny, I always kept Firefox and Brave (yes I'm aware its chromium and full of fuckery) installed. But as soon as this news broke, before it was even confirmed, I swapped back from Brave to Firefox as my primary. Fuck Google for this. They're just truly not the company they once were.

Oh god no, never said otherwise. But for years they struck this equilibrium between evil and quality of services offered in exchange. That value had been rapidly deteriorating for the last 5 years or so. It's just sad to see is all.

Why do I feel like it isn't the death of the internet as we know of, but rather the sharding of the internet. The corpo plaza internet is clearly emerging, we have to make sure we support and hold up the everyone else internet
With banking, streaming, there isn't really an easy alternative. This could be a locking out that could be quite disruptive.
