People called me crazy when I told them that Google was leveraging open source to enact their version of an EEE strategy to kill the open internet. But here we are. They embraced open source, expanded Chromium with unethical practices, and now that they have the monopoly of the space and the main voting power on the W3C, they are ready to destroy all that is free and open about the internet.
I am once again asking users to consider the eventual abandonment of web browsers. It is too big and complex for competition to actually create new ones, so this was inevitable.

In exchange for what?
Instead of using an extreme army knife to play a video, use a dedicated video player. Exchange some convenience for a healthier market.
Build a new internet on top of gemini? :D
I propose federated internet! Or Pied Piper (for you Silicon Valley fans).
