    Then don’t use Google. I’m slowly but surely working towards degoogling myself. Not there quite yet, but I’m working on it.

      The whole point is that non-Chromium browsers might lose functionality on a significant portion of major websites. Imagine if Amazon, Netflix, and Youtube suddenly stopped working in Firefox. How many Firefox users would tolerate that?

          I don’t care about x thing, it doesn’t affect me

          Then next year

          Why are they killing “y thing that affects me”

          Attitudes like that are a big factor in our current culture war.

            I’m using actual solid services established in the late 90’s that still work today. I have terabytes of data stored, and it’s not through Google or iCloud.

            Don’t care, I already predicted half of this crap over a decade ago. Nobody wants to listen to me though.

            Oh well, not my problem.

          Ok, but you can see how perhaps other people might care, right? Like you’re not a complete psychopath, right?

            Not my problem you people fell into the corporate trap. I saw it coming as far back as 2011.

      Your recommendation isn’t wrong, but it’s a mistake to think problems like this can be solved with a mere boycott. This absolutely requires consumer protection legislation.

      Funny, note that that website uses DRM content. I have DRM disabled on Firefox and when I visit that site I get two DRM warnings.
