Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

Is there something about Chrome specifically that's no bueno nowadays? I haven't heard anything but to be fair I don't really keep myself in that loop too much now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

I don't want any of my business being shared with Google, including the fact that I use Canon products. It's just yet another data point for them to weaponize via targeted ads and data brokering.

And simply opening Chrome means that a data siphon to Google was just opened, so telemetry data would have been collected immediately.

There's a general negative attitude towards chromium browsers due to some anticompetitive practices pulled by Google in addition to privacy concerns and probably some more issues I'm not aware of. So that includes chrome, but also edge and most other chromium based browsers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Ah okay, I hadn't heard about any of that, very good to know, thank you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

bye bye Canon. You were once the light of my photographic life - now you're dead to me for pulling this bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

I’d just return and leave a bad review lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I'll never buy products\brands that do this kind of shit. Never.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The problem is, you don't always know thwy will do this until after you pay your money for them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

True. But doing your homework prior to a purchase is more important than ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Especially if its a few years down the line when you're already a few grand in to their system

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I worry a day will come that it's all of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Well canon seems like a product to avoid. This person shouldn't now know better for their future purchases l.

Firefox doesn't support WebUSB, Web Bluetooth and several other integrations, so applications that need to connect to other devices need some kind of Chrome application. Massive dick move by forcing account creation tho.

Firefox doesn't support WebUSB, Web Bluetooth and several other integrations, so applications that need to connect to other devices need some kind of Chrome application.

If those features in the browser were needed, I could be a little less infuriated (they didn't have to break previously working features, though).

However, Chrome was needed only to sign up and log in. Once that was done, I was able to disable chrome, and the app continued to work after restarting it.

Why they couldn't implement a log in directly in the app, or use the device webview api, is beyond me.

I'm just waiting for that WebAntivirus support to land in chrome, for all those websites that tell you to install an antivirus.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In terms of the chrome only thing, you can probably use a UA switcher on firefox and it will probs let you in. It's probably just checking your user agent, nothing more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

It actually wanted the chrome app to be enabled and only opens the chrome app for the sign up/log in process.

So a user agent switch wouldn't have helped in this case.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Firefox doesn't support WebUSB and Web Bluetooth on any platform.

I don't have much experience with cameras but isn't it usually sd cards that you can pull out and transfer using a sd reader? Does the camera have internal storage that needs an account and app?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For data transfer only, yes, you can eject the SD card and copy your files.

But the app is used for other features, too. So you're inconvenienced no matter what feature you use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah I guessed that much but your original post was a bit confusing as it doesn't mention the app. Hence the question.
