Is this confirmed? Last I saw, it was still a proposal on github.
They ignored the objections to the proposal, pushed it directly into their tree and it's already live. I've had the prompt to enable it just today.
Switched to ff yesterday.
I'll switch to FF today and flood the support of whatever shit site is going into that. There will be so much drama to harvest. (I'll not insult any service employee as they just do their job)
I mean the next step is publicly shaming them but the last few years have shown that companies don't really care about that anymore. Not real encouraging tbh.
On what website?
Yeah, they pushed it in chrome very soon after the proposal made the rounds
It's pretty telling seeing as it happened so fast it must've predated the proposal. The proposal was super vague - if you take it (and their statements) at face value, this was a nebulous idea with none of the details ironed out.
And then like a week later, they push this update that would lock people out of sites? No way in hell they didn't test the crap out of this.
Nah, this is definitely being done in bad faith.
