Now all we can do is convince as many people as we can to use firefox instead of putting up with this bullshit.
You mean the nonprofit company that is dependent completely on a contract with google to stay solvent? Ya, firefox will definitely never be pressured by google... Bruh
It's far too late for that, and it won't work anyway.
Frankly, this is where regulators are supposed to step in. They won't, but if it were working as it was intended to work, they'd have stepped in long before now.
Waiting for government to act is a recipe for disaster. Governments react to angry people.
I am under no illusion the challenge we face, but I ain't going to roll over, I will keep pushing. Give up if you want, but telling everyone to give up and you choose to become a stooge of the oppressors.
This will probably be another case of the European Union having to save our (the U.S. and others) collective asses from corporate overreach.
With that mindset, nothing will ever get accomplished. As Louis Rossmann often says: We, the people, are who can change the culture and that's what matters most.
The regulators are on their side... government is not your friend.
