    That it allows Google to destroy the open internet by changing the standards until non-Chromium browsers can’t engage with the web.

      Oh yeah I fully get that. I think that’s very important too. The reason why I asked is because I thought there was a nifty feature I wasn’t aware of.

      Im glad the websites have a saying in this. If google also owns these all then we are TRULY fucked.

        Unfortunately, no, they don’t. As Chromium gets more and more wide spread, Google is gaining the power to change the browser standards. Websites will have to comply. If your website suddenly “Breaks” because Google won’t allow Chromium load any pages without tracking tags, users will complain to you and not google.

          Yeah tech illiteracy is a thing thats true. Once they realize that its their browser that breaks their shit they will just pick a different one. Thats what i mean with google owning all the websites.

            Good joke.

            You know what happens if a customer complains your website doesn’t work in Chrome? A bug ticket is raised, goes to a developer and they fix the “bug” so it works again.

            If the developer is good they’d also make sure their “fix” doesn’t break the website for Firefox and Safari. But there are plenty of developers who only test Chrome and call it a day.

            Chrome is the default browser nowadays, if it doesn’t work in Chrome you have a problem. The developer might blame Google, but the user and management won’t care.

              Thats fine. Because it means the websites are ok with what chrome is doing and it doesnt hurt them. No joke bro…

            I don’t think they will. I think corporations - Who make decisions the same way soulless psychopaths would - will bend.

            Using Chromium supports the destruction of the open internet.

              unpopular opinion: chromium is a genuinely good thing for everyone involved. Just because chrome gets all the bitches and can dictate stuff doesnt mean chromium will break the competitions will to have their own programmers make their own fork.

                It can and will because Chromium only exists as a weapon for google to use to improve their level of control.
