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?
Sure, because the average user won’t think his Firefox to be broken and just switch to chrome altogether. Chrome has no issue with that site after all. Once enough pages have it even most technically inclined people will probably not want to constantly juggle between browsers, just to use their banking site or whatever.
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.
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.
Then don’t use Google. I’m slowly but surely working towards degoogling myself. Not there quite yet, but I’m working on it.

You are not limited to using one browser at a time. Use firefox as much as you please. You can use google if you must.

I don’t use Amazon or Netflix in the first place. Plus the FTC is going after Amazon anyways…

Act like I care…
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.
I like your tude dude!
Everyone is whining while still holding on to big corps balls.
Then next year
Attitudes like that are a big factor in our current culture war.

Oh well, not my problem.

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.
I noticed that too after I posted that comment. Must be a recent change. ☹️
