Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

I don’t think it’s fair to place the blame on the user.

Consumers/users don't deserve all the blame, obviously but they deserve a significant share.

It’s not their fault for using a browser they like.

A huge amount of what's wrong with the world comes down to people saying "I'm going to go ahead and do this even if it causes harm". Same situation here.

It's someone fault if they choose to do something that causes harm. We can't help what we like, but we can help what we do.
