      Seriously. The only people willing to pay what it’s “worth” will end up doing the same thing (or worse).

      What we need are some actual privacy laws with teeth, so that the data isn’t worth as much to begin with.

      Elon’s a dunce, so he’ll probably enshittify it so badly that people will leave. So google is weakened and chrome dies (at least, i hope in a good outcome)

        That regular people would stop using chrome if it turned into xhrome is highly unlikely. These are people who browse without adblocker, use facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and buy Amazon echos. It’d just lead to Doge influencing the direction of xhromium based browsers.

          True :( but we’ve seen how stupid he is, and now bluesky has become xitter’s #1 competitor because of his incompetence. Maybe, maybe, maybe…
