    This was overwhelming rejected by everyone, including Microsoft, Mozilla, Safari, and others. It’s universally disliked, and Google knows this, but they intentionally know they’re abusing their monopoly to push anti-consumer bullshit.

      It sure would be nice if the US still pretended to care about consumers and breaking up monopolies.

        I was born way after that may have ever happened, so sounds more like a fairy tale to me

        The solution to breaking up monopolies is nationalization.

        All of a sudden, we’re paying less money and have way more rights. It’s why the USPS can’t open your mail without probably cause but fedex and ups can.

        Rich people and their dick-suckers will be upset. But who cares about them anyways?

      I opened the browser at the library to print a pre employment drug screen form today. The browser had a pop up asking to review settings, it looked like you could tell them not to use ads this way, but damn I wish I would have read it now. Not my computer and it reboots to clear the profile when you “log out” so I didnt spend the time
