Man creates… Unity.

The list can go on as long as you want it to. :-P

So that’s where all those muscle fibers went!! :-P

I’d buy that for a dollar!

Also, submit daily hourly progress reports providing a detailed accounting of the steps you are taking to work on this. But please, no more than half a sentence, bc I won’t be reading them anyway.

It is good to start with something other than a daily driver, so that such problems don’t hold you back as much - e.g. an older machine, or as others mentioned dual booting.

The close button is never gonna give it up, never gonna tell the ad to say goodbye, never gonna turn around, and help you…

Not true - where are the guns then!? Not to mention donuts… :-P

Edit: found them: https://media.tenor.com/0zEhnQBJoHkAAAAM/america-art.gif (the donuts 🍩 here have all been replaced by moar guns 🔫)

Fortunately 🤞:-)

Grr… arg.

“Only you”? More like all of us, or at least most.

Once bitten twice shy, basically.

Thank you for the link. I understand somewhat what you mean about security, but also I get the other side too - security for who, and for what purpose? Google seems to have decided that it wants security to deliver ads to your browser, and also to track you everywhere you go (while offering no paid options to surf the internet without ads or tracking afaik?). This may fall under the umbrella of “security”, but not for the sake of the users, whose traffic is being monetized, and the only option is to go over to some other browser like Firefox, which now, conveniently for Google, seems to be doing the same? Or at least could, if anyone could spoof the service and pretending to be Firefox, ask for security adons to be disabled? Maybe I’m simply too jaded to easily trust anymore:-P.

It’s not like Google would ever take over anything - like let’s say oh I dunno, Android - and kill it from the inside. Remember how it said that its motto is don’t be evil? Oh wait…

But resistance is fu…n? :-P

Firefox’s answer, at the bottom of the article, smells like pure BS to me. Disabling an extension with something like a full browser-modal pop-up to warn users of the possibility of an untrustworthy Extension? Sure, fine, whatever, and maybe make that warning capable to be disabled by default, but why make the decision for us - silently - that Extensions are not to be trusted? Do we trust the website that asks if we pwetty please should allow the showing of ads, or maybe the malware provider that please should just disable all security Extensions and allow their malicious code to run, if you would be so kind?

I can think of one use for this: to disable malware to substitute clicking on a link to install your Extension of choice with one of their choice instead - although isn’t the Extensions store already treated specially by default anyway?

Otherwise, I don’t favor taking control away from the users. Especially if users cannot disable this new “feature”. There is far too much potential for misuse of this.

Which will fragment the Chrome & Chromium-alternative market further, if people cannot trust Firefox anymore.

Which will slow development of alternatives to Chrome.

Which only benefits Google.

Is the goal of social media to inform, or be popular?

Social Media-ites: “Yes”.

:-P

Or just doing squats and doesn’t even realize there is a tiny man behind him:-P

Always has been, unfortunately. But now with a new bonus added: climate change can kill us all, yay!:-D /s

If only they would… although now that you asked them to do that, they will come here just out of spite:-).
