If I don't have the ability to control which CAs I trust, things become useless fast. This is why I fully ditched chomeOS.
Google: wants to push their browser based DRM, to which they would inevitably be the ultimate controller of, in the name of "safety".
Also Google: intentionally kneecaps the existing certificate system which is the main safety system of the web.
Gee, I wonder if the two are connected.
I heard this on the radio yesterday. Secretly ruthless is a good way to describe Google.

This is very true, although from what I’ve seen both sides are correct. They give very little guidance to any of the stuff they put out, see killing off stadia or how badly they have been messing up chromeOS and just let their engineers do what they want until they lose their way then it falls off. They just don’t care about that because the ad money keeps coming regardless. It seems almost like a result of the fact that google just hires talent so no one else can have it and then they just let them do whatever they want. It’s almost like there are two googles.
I freaking love the new updates!!
I love it when I can't manage my own SSL certificates, even as root
I love not being to use the fucking McDonalds app on a rooted device
Web environment integrity is so great! It's incredible that my rooted tablet will be locked out of lots of websites since I'm not using AUTHORIZED chrome on an AUTHORIZED device
It's so awesome that adblock will stop working in most Chromium-based browsers
LIKE WTF I JUST GOT A PIXEL NOW YOU NEED TO RUIN IT?
