Or web site owners that use it will go out of business because people don’t want to change their browsers. The companies will realize their decision was bad when all of a sudden their customers stop coming to their sites.
Google needs shut down! Or at least go back to being a search engine.
Apple “privacy first” policy is just the corporate image they want to sell, if they can get away with it without being questioned by the public, they will.
We need some new Anti-Monopoly governments to come into power and take a hatchet and machete to google and carve it up, and learn from the ATT/Ma Bell situation by making it so the richest fragment cant buy up all the remaining fragments after a couple decades and go all T2000 on the situation.
I don’t see that too soon, big companies control the government. Unless that can be stopped, which it won’t, the little guy is going to continue to be screwed in the advancement of capitalism
The effect those people will have on profit margins probably are negligible, given the large amount of people using Google-created web browsers already.
Or someone will somehow create a new web browser or add-on or just another branch of Chromium that fakes out the DRM somehow.
Like with ReVanced, for example. It’s a modified version of the YouTube app with an adblocker and several other bells and whistles added on (and the ability to remove a lot of Google’s own bells and whistles).
I’m not recommending death threats, but maybe hit them wheee it really hurts. Everyone quit using the internet for a week or two. And I do mean everyone around the world. Hell we survived quite well without the internet until the late 80’s, we have the knowledge, so let’s use it.
Oh please. Did you learn nothing from the reddit “protests”?
the average user doesnt give a fuck until it affects them, personally. And then they’ll blame someone besides the problem for it, and double down and continuing to support bad things.
Oh I know it won’t happen. It’s just a pipe dream. But that would be the only way to stop the problem. We, as a society, rely too heavily on the internet. Someone would always have an excuse to be on it

The chance that happens when google is the most used is pretty small
The chance of that happening when large corporations, banks, etc. start rolling this out…
Unfortunately
Google Chrome amounts to 63,55% of global browser market share right now.
Call me when Safari weighs in with their 20% share. That’s a big enough group to actually kill this effort outright.
Let’s hope Apple puts their “privacy first” money where their mouth is.
Sadly I do however think the ability to further lock down and control what uses can see and access might be just as tempting for them…

Apple already has something similar in place (https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/).
And 90% of them complain about privacy invasions by big tech or lack of anonymity

The best thing that could happen is google get shut down at this point
I doubt that but website owners that implement it might receive enough death threads to reconsider I guess, it’s the internet after all.

99% of internet users don’t care. Sad, but true.
Very true. They removed about privacy and anonymity but don’t want to be truly proactive about it properly
