Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don’t give in to criminals or bullies

Get attacked for kicking a puppy
“These attacks make me MORE likely to keep kicking puppies, as I don’t give in to intimidation from criminals and bullies that want healthy puppies for their nefarious ends.”
Google must have forgotten when they sued Microsoft for trying to corner the browser market for Internet Explorer. Or maybe they are two faced.
Companies have only one goal, more profit. Both actions here work to that goal.
No no, they sued because they were behind.
Now they are not. Nothing wrong anymore.
That was for tying IE to Windows, and it was also done while there were paid web browsers competing with them. Then they forced OEM PC makers to bundle IE or get dropped as a customer for Windows licenses.
Then they went and made Chrome OS.
I mean “either use a Chromium browser or you can’t display or use the site” sounds pretty similar to me.
Couldn’t agree more
However, unlike bundling a browser by default, you’d need to get a lot of websites to agree to “be normal” and support multiple browsers properly.
Companies never sue because of idealism or values. They sue to get an advantage.
Same as Musk, who is publically harshly against government subsidies for companies. Unless he’s the recipent.
