For those who may not want to click the link, this appears to show a workaround that enterprises might use to bypass the change.
Only until June 2025 apparently, leave chromium behind already guys.
No, enterprises would use the Google admin console as described here.
The above is for a single machine, applied locally.
It looks like it’s the same flag to me. I mean, it’s entirely possible that administration could use a different path to applying the setting, but it has the same name.
Sure, it's the same flag, but using the admin console would apply it to a group of computers. The methods in the github link are to apply it to a single computer.
Just stop destroying the www by supporting this toxic monopoly. How in the hell are all of those coping tweaks easier than just switching the freaking browser?! It's like Windows users claiming superiority when they have to have like 10 tools to tweak their operating system, with each year another new one being needed. At what point do you people realize how much you're getting duped and how you are part of the problem that makes this possible in the first place?
I've seen countless of those tweaks throughout the years. You can harangue the people using them all you want, but at the end of the day they're hooked on a powerful drug. And they'll do anything to keep their supply.
How dare anyone suggest that there's a way to accomplish something!
It's better to just use another browser that's not looking to exploit you
Yeah from one of those companies that pour tons of money into developing and maintaining a web browser without any way to recoup that expense.
They recoup it through shipping a default search engine that's Google in 90% of the world
So they’re just subcontracting the exploitation?
I thought the complaint is that they couldn't recoup development expenses
I relate to your Windows comment. There was a point where I was that person with a bunch of different tools to modify my OS exactly how I like it, and then I realize I’m just doing more work. If I’m willing to do that work anyway, I might as well have an OS that is more malleable.
Yes, same here. After turning off a bunch of services I noticed update stopped working, but I forgot how I turned off the firewall in the first place to make it work again... Never booted windows again except for that one time to change the polling rate of my mouse (windows only app)
