    Goodbye chrome. Hello Firefox.

    And maybe in a few years: Goodbye Google apps. Hello FOSS apps

    We’re clearly hitting the stage where Google deems itself an untouchable giant who can do whatever they please. They wouldn’t be the first giant falling over their hubris.

    eh, given the pervasiveness of the search engine, they’ll get away with this.

    most people don’t even know what a browser is, what browser they are using and that they can even use ad-blockers.

    Google is an evil company now. Just stop using chrome. YouTube is the last good thing, but it’s only good because of the creators- the app itself is pretty terrible.

    It’s almost like oike they hired an MBA from a failing company like Burger King to manage their revenue. Instead of attacking ad blockers, they should be investing into non intrusive ad psychology research.

    been a chrome fan since chrome came out. I liked FF but habit kept me on chrome… until they announced the upcoming extension updates, combined with the youtube nonsense, and the fact that ublock works better with firefox than chrome… they finally pushed me out. And im perfectly happy with firefox.

    One of the things that bugs me a bit, google was the one who first started the entire, lets get rid of the annoying ads thing. The net was getting a bit nuts with noisy and moving ads and google came out and did the text ad thing. I tend to give them exceptions in my ad blockers because i only want to block that which annoys me. So instead of keeping me on their product while making exceptions for their ads, they pushed me to another product.
