It's small, but here's a real actionable item that you can do to help:

Put a gentle "Use Firefox" (or any other non-Chromium-based browser) message on your website. It doesn't have to be in-your-face, just something small. I've taken my own advice and added it to my own website: https://geeklaunch.io/ (Only appears in Chromium-based browsers.)

We can slowly turn the tide, little by little.

Copy and paste:

<p>
    This site is designed for Firefox,
    a web browser that respects your privacy.

(I also posted this on the HN discussion.)

Honestly this won't effect me a ton, though I wouldn't be surprised if I have to boot up a windows virtual machine just to check my bank in a few years cause my bank doesn't know what Linux is and doesn't want go trust it. I'm mad about it but given slowly but surely I've been replacing everything with FOSS stuff. I just fear one day they will force you to use corpo approved software to use WiFi , or get cell service

Time to De-Google I guess. I will keep using Firefox and if or when I come across any website pulling this crap I won't hesitate to blast them to eternity. I suggest everyone else do the same please.

De-google, anyone?

IE in the 2000's called, it wants it's dream back.

Between this, hobbling adblockers and performing enough monopolistic acts to warrant swift government action, I really see this more as Chrome dying than the web itself.

Can you explain to someone not so tech savy what this means?

What is WEI?

ELI5 Anyone?

So this is a problem for all browsers based on Chromium right???

People saying de-google like google isn't in the position Microsoft was in when they killed Netscape. It's over y'all, once it's in chromium it's the standard, period. The open web is dead.

Edit: ok, be in denial then.
