You have a choice A. Be a Chad who Dumps Chrome and chromium based browsers . or B. remain a whiny loser who has to deal with ads.
Uninstall all google apps and CHROME... get Firefox...done. How many times will i have to say it before people start to understand.
To think republicans pretend like aiding Ukraine is the real problem.... yet They'll blow Netanyoohoo any time he wants. If anyone in Washington had a damn lick of sense they'd cut Israel off entirely.
Im gonna need a bigger sick bay.
It's shit like this that really just makes me want to start the Butlerian Jihad for real.
You underestimate the greed of the .01 % ...my cynicism comes from seeing them getting their way the great majority of the time because money.
Came here to say this, but i see you have it covered. I get sooooo tired of the "coulds" ,"woulds" and "shoulds" we see in article titles like this. What is more likely to happen..... a promising new technology that's cheap to produce, maintain, and reduces prices for the delivery of the worlds most needed resource is universally embraced by ALL....or Companies like Nestle, who's massive water profiteering is threatened by this innovation, either buys out all the patents and sweeps it under the rug , and/or launches a campaign of legal litigation against it's developers so that it never gets funded nor ever gets to the practical production stage.
I know what kind of world we're living in... and it's not one that favors the hope and needs of the many over the greed of the few.
Prepare for an incoming 2nd wave of Rexxit.
Becuase the other browsers suck.
Does anyone else ever notice that the changes like this they make are done piece mail, brick by brick ,they continue to shitify the service. That's intentional...Imagine you tube in the year 2009. I'm betting no one really remembers, and youtube made the same bet.
How many things have they taken away that users really like over the years think about it. Now imagine they did all those changes AT ONCE...TODAY... from 2005 at inception. Horrifying huh ?
Big companies always start off with an amazing array of "Standard Features" that they allow everyone to use, so that the users get hooked on them, then suddenly they make an announcement like this and they change, remove, or premium tier a feature. They know you wont like it... but they got you hooked and they know it and they dont care. It's all driven at profiteering as much as they can off of you. Honestly I see youtube trying to become like Netflix by continuing to increase inconvenience with ads (for their profit), and ultimately making Youtube a completely payed service subscription to everyone.
They gaslight the great majority into just giving in to more ads, shittier service, and eventually a payed subscription by breaking your outrage up into small little pieces over time. STOP LETTING THEM !
Edit: So yeah Twitter/X as predicted.
What kind of brain dead idiot did you have to be to think they would be in the first place ?
No ....no it's not it just isn't. What this is a sensationalist headline trying to sow discord, despair, and defeat.
I understand the implication of a future where Trump or his like were in charge, but as dark as it looks I still think the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again. So what if he makes the Republican nomination it just confirms their lawless criminality.
In other words STOP with the crap attitudes that trump is "Inevitable" Shit... he's not.
