Lol, get fucked Google
(lemmy.world)
For reasons that boggle my mind, I am required to keep a Google account for work (ties into some proprietary software the company uses)
Earlier today, I got the following -
Yes, I’m certain people under the age of 16 are known for their use of very specific EHR software that requires professional license to subscribe to in the first place. Makes perfect sense.
Anyone else get one of these “for you protection” msgs from Big evil?
Speaking of Google: has anybody noticed how unbearably slow Google sites are lately?
I almost never use Google search anymore. But I hit it the other day because I couldn't find some really obscure kernel error message, and the damn thing froze Firefox. And it did so repeatedly and consistently after restarting the browser, until I killed almost all Google scripts in uBO.
The same "experience" can be felt on any Google site, like Map.
I've heard they intentionally ruin the experience for Firefox users, but my canon is that google engineers are simply incompetent. If they want to prove me wrong, they can fix it.
YouTube definitely does that. Im on Brave, been for years, and in the past year clicking on videos makes them load with several seconds delay, with a popup in the bottom left along the lines of "Experiencing interruptions? Find out why" and the help page it takes you to if you click it, basically gives the default reasons of "youre internet may be slow", but IIRC it also includes the reason that you are using ad blocking scripts
Try ironfox ,cromite ,librewolf
Can't says I've noticed, because apart from the stupid account, I don't use google.
That's on your end though
