Comment on Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM

I don’t care what Chrome does to fuck every single users possible, provided that it doesn’t affect FF.
This integrity thing was one of the worst thing they could’ve ever come up with that would’ve definitely affect me.
Fuck them. Fuck with your own users. I ain’t one.

That’s the problem. They could have made it a requirement for a site to work in Chrome. And since Chrome has such a majority sites would have to comply. Then the other browsers would have to fall in line or just stop working with most websites. Google’s monopoly is complete enough that they can dictate how the web works. You need to both care what chrome does and care that other people are still using it.

Please, people, stop using Chromium-based browsers and handing Google a near-monopoly. Firefox is awesome and has even more privacy-oriented derivates.

Bope. I’ll continue using Brave, as it’s the best browser out there for my use case. Thank you for you concern. Firefox plainly sucks, and I tell this afteb having been a FF user, supporter and advocate for almost 20 years.

What sucks so much in FF?
Yes, performance used to be spotty but this is no longer the case.

Yeah, the current management is so horny to have Chrome be the next Internet Explorer like that. So sad Google has fallen so far.

I’m not sure on stats or anything, I know Google has paid a lot of money to get Chrome as a default browser, but I remember a time when it became ubiquitous because the family nerd would tell their parents to use it and so on. It could possibly happen again and have a lot of people switch to firefox because their favourite site stopped working on Chrome. It’s the kind of plan that could backfire pretty bad. There’s a lot of legal reasons for their hesitance I’m sure, but I think that sort of thing would also play into it. A bunch of parents calling up their children because something stopped working and being told to download firefox isn’t outside the scope of reality I don’t think.
