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.

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?

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.

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

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.

Attitudes like that are a big factor in our current culture war.
