A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Honestly, it feels like it was written by either a Chrome or advertising shill.
Yeah, and I expect much better from The Register!
I'm also convinced that the current state of ads, where people can compare old to new and say "looks good to me," is entirely intentional on Google's part. I've been convinced of this well before the change actually happened.
Of course Google didn't want to raise any hackles... until well after their new scheme had been adopted.
