This is even worse. You can't trust either Mozilla or Google to vet the extensions they publish for spyware. So you have to trust and/or verify that this extension does what it says and no more. But worse, you have to vigilantly watch the extension for any changes, even if you trust the developer today he may sell it to a spyware company at any time.

What platform are you using to write this very comment? If it is open source (Linux etc.), have you gone through the millions of lines of code for each program installed on it?

The only person unclear on who the asshole is here is you.

Acting like an asshole is the means of protest I consciously choose. Another commenter here chooses to put stickers over the QR codes instead; I think that's pretty clever and I applaud that, but I prefer to keep it strictly legal. Stickers are technically vandalism, but ruining your day by acting like an asshole is completely legal and very effective.

...he said, to somebody who responds to such behavior by tipping double or triple, and by taking the manager aside to note that the best way in the world to retain my custom is to throw your ass out and make sure you stay that way.

Why would you lie on something so easily verified?

How can I pay for my personal gmail account and get support?

You can get a Google Workspace account, which is the counterpart service to Microsoft Office/365 just for comparison. You pay per user, unless you want a specific deal, then you go for Enterprise, which is not very likely at a 1 person workspace.

Plans are described on Google's website.
