#3Most of the Internet is almost unusable without ad blockers.
I suspect this will be good for Firefox.

Except Google has the money/power to put anti-adblocker technology inside chips.
Needless to say, I'm not applauding any steps in this direction.

#5I like using Chrome and even went back to it after trying FF and Brave 2-3 years ago. But this would really make me look for alternatives, even if those are inferior.
It's not even about Youtube. I pay for Youtube Premium. But not being able to block third party cookies would be a deal breaker.

Occasionally I use a computer that's not my own (I've been using Firefox and UBO for years, and have PiHole here). I can't believe how AWFUL it is. It's just not worth bothering with any more for the most part... it's like I live in this quiet backwater town where everyone walks everywhere, and then I get teleported to the middle of rush-hour Tokyo.

#7Can we all finally make a concerted effort to switch back to Firefox? I get it, it was slow and bloated when Chrome initially came out and everyone switched.
Well, it's not slow or bloated anymore and Chrome is now officially evil. It's time. Don't just switch your own browser. Switch the browsers of all the non-technical folks that come to you for questions.

Even better, can we all finally make a concerted effort and make a new browser better than Chrome and Firefox?
We only let the net get jizzed on because we allow it to be.
If Serenity can do it, imagine if all those who push repos to github collaborating together and actually making an open source project for all and everyone.
Both browsers are old and have been abused.

I mean sure, but let's not let perfect be the enemy of good here. Firefox is good enough and exists right now. Let's not delay this until some perfect future browser arrives.
