Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.
It's ad blocking and entire operating systems, or computers configured in any way they don't like.
If this goes through, they can force you to install any plugins they wish, or disable any plugins they wish. Or make sure you don't run Linux and only Windows or Mac. They can force you to have your camera on. They can do anything since they make the rules.
No innovation will take place. Competing browsers or software will not be allowed or manipulated into marketed as "unsafe".
This is a takeover of the open web stack as we know it.
And that's exactly the point. WEI makes it a world where big tech decides if they are going to support a competing browser, a competing operating system like Linux, or plugins against ads. They can also force you to have any number of plugins installed, from their choosing.
It destroys the free web completely.

A peaceful protest against Web Environment Integrity
(github.com)
I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.
Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.
Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.
Googles wet dream to make all web pages like this.
Try container tabs!
They have separate sessions so you can be logged in to the same site on multiple accounts. This is extreamly useful for stuff like being logged in to github using work account and company account or other sites where you just need many accounts. Aws is another good example.
There is also temporary containers that leave no trace at all.
It may be the last few years of the free web because of Google. Their goals are clear.
Please switch to Firefox, another search engine and another email provider...
I think it's a bit silly to have megathreads just because some users can't scroll past posts that doesnt interest them.
I agree its not great with multiple threads but it's also not the end of the world imo. Users want to talk about these things. Let them.
It's not fun to post on megathreads because your comments get buried. At least it was like that on reddit.
Sort by 6 or 12 hours is super important.
Strangely enough, many people do things for other reasons than money. :)
Wow. There is very small margin for overflowing here...
European companies somehow survive just fine with people being in unions. There are many strong protections in place, which is why we have 6 weeks vacations, maternal leave and so on.

It's a sign of the times that this is upvoted so much. When I was growing up, this was called normal behavior and was boring and nobody talked about it.
