      And spoiling Internet for the rest of us. None of us would have to go through this if more people used alternatives to chromium. No website would’ve accepted a 50% loss in visitors over accepting some companies special protocol

      It absolutely is not. Just how it’s also not ok to buy the overpriced RTX 40 cards because it ruins the market for all of us.

        Exactly right. It requires seeing yourself as a part of a community vs. fulfilling our selfish interests at the expense of others.

        Another example were the suburban PS5 buyers who bought from scalpers so “their kids” could have one, not giving any thought to the fact that they’re contributing to a system that excludes the disadvantaged (or, even worse, knowing but not caring).

        How does participating in the market ruin the market? It’s literally a fucking market. If they’re so overpriced then why are people buying the cards?

        Why don’t you flock to their competitor if they’re pricing their items right and providing just the right value?

      True fucking statement.

      Most normal people don’t even know adblockers exist. Guys, if you’re going to convince people to switch away from Chrome, it won’t be on the grounds of protecting against some API or ads.
