And google is trying to force as many as ads down our throats as possible.

Fuck Google.

I'm nostalgic for the day when Google was the good company. A few years before "alphabet" you could see the change coming and since "alphabet" they are worse every year.

They never were the "good company," in my opinion. We were just naive and ignorant of what they were up to.

And they were trying to maintain a false veneer. Nowadays it's mask off with them.

In the future your browser will be able to remotely attest that you have no viable security solution to block the infection and no working backups as a condition for being served these malicious ads, increasing the ad value since they can now be more precisely targeted
