What could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules.
I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ).
If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn't that be something... One big collective FU to Google.
Oh well. One can dream I guess.
There comes a point where one realizes that those around you cannot be relied upon to leverage solutions. Psychopaths get ahead because they're willing to play dirty. So much of the world can be summed up as large swaths of population being induced to behave or think certain ways by psychopathic manipulators.
Data serves a great role in this. It's a currency of control.
Political, social, etc.
Which is why privacy is so goddamn important.
