    I don't care what browser you use

    Also I like Edge. It works great and Google can kiss my butt

        Yeah, it's basically chrome without the bloat, less spying, and without the prohibition on ad blockers

          That's fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it's implemented it's likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.

              It would be a monumental effort for smaller browsers to keep chromium extensions working, while the rest of the ecosystem moves to the new APIs. The only way that could work is if they all fork chromium and base their browsers on this new fork, and even then it's not guaranteed to develop a real ecosystem of plugins since chrome has more users than all of those other chromium browsers combined.

              So yeah you have to use Firefox if you want to avoid that, at least for now.

      As Chromium monopolizes the market they're able to push anti-user updates because sites don't care. It's down to Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Firefox is basically the only thing that's kept Chrome from straight up removing adblocking capability and the like.
