Chrome is basically crippling Chromium's features

Google no longer cares about Linux. They are even abandoning the kernel for Android in favor of a homegrown kernel. To expect good support for Linux going forward is just like expecting good support from any other vendor that does not care about the small community of Linux users.

That's FUD.

Fuchsia is a research project and it was never stated that it was intended to replace Linux.

All of their servers run Linux. Chrome OS runs on Linux. Most of their workstations are Linux.

"Google no longer cares about Linux" makes no sense.

Also the lack of coordination across different parts of Google is blatantly obvious in plenty of ways: you have parts pushing hard against any type of browser-specific code while others make things that are Chrome-only; you have different parts making competing messaging apps; etc. To pretend Google is acting in a coordinated way against Linux seems highly dubious given the lack of any coordination in general.

Given their complete lack of support for google drive for Linux... I believe you.

Happy to give money to pcloud.com, as they provide a viable and affordable alternative (Dropbox ends up being too expensive for a family).

Good riddance.

Plenty of other options out there that don't solely exist to harvest our data.
