People called me crazy when I told them that Google was leveraging open source to enact their version of an EEE strategy to kill the open internet. But here we are. They embraced open source, expanded Chromium with unethical practices, and now that they have the monopoly of the space and the main voting power on the W3C, they are ready to destroy all that is free and open about the internet.

    I am once again asking users to consider the eventual abandonment of web browsers. It is too big and complex for competition to actually create new ones, so this was inevitable.

    [No offense intended to those working on important changes in forks, just saying proportionally it's only a minor diff, no?]

    Wait, what? What alternative do you suggest? Apps and App Stores?

    I'm probably going to use this as a motivation to finally implement serious Digital Minimalism, and just stop using websites that force me to use it.

    Banking will be the biggest problem, but other than that, I don't really need to spend my time on the internet. And this kind of DRM infuriates me so much, that I might just get a life just out of spite.
