Google Pushes Unpopular Chrome Update

"After an update in June this year, a feature called the WebRequest API will be removed, and the adblockers and tracker blockers that depend on this feature will stop working. Since the business model of Google is to track your online activity and then show you personalised ads, it is not difficult to see why this feature is removed.

(...) they are forcing the same update on all Chromium browsers as well."

Instead of blowing a shitload of donation money on #AI bs, how about you actually focus on what really matters, @mozilla ?

Like:

Seriously:

  1. log off
  2. get outside
  3. touch grass
  4. take a good and long sleep
  5. rethink what you just posted
  6. undo the harm you just did.

Sincerely,
A longterm Firefox and Thunderbird user.


So far I like the search engine Kagi. But what I still need in Chrome is search autocomplete (esp for versus), where you type "thing vs", and Google tells you what its competitors are. Anybody know how to get that on Chrome with Kagi? #browser #chrome #kagi


#Google muss Milliarden Daten löschen, die der Konzern bei #Chrome Nutzern im sogenannten "Incognito"-Modus gesammelt hat.

Dieser Modus, der erhöhten #Datenschutz suggeriert, sammelt trotzdem Daten. Darauf muss Google jetzt hinweisen.

Und wenn schon der vermeintlich datensparsamer Modus derart viele Daten produziert, ahnt man, was Chrome sonst so nach Hause sendet.
