I wonder how far they can push it before one of the larger more open distro's just goes "yep, that was far as you are going" and we end up with the Chromed Ice Weasel.

Well there is already vivaldi, iridium, and ungoogled-chromium. But a better choice, IMO, is to install Brave since they are not just removing spy-features, but enabling new ideas to incentivize support for a more privacy focused internet.

The ad model is fundamentally broken, because all roads there eventually lead to tracking and online garbage. Monocultures are bad, so I don't think people should only use Chrome-based browsers. Google once tried to do ads without going down the wrong path, but that clearly hasn't worked out.

I think that Firefox Quantum is a better alternative.

Yea, that was what my essay/overview was about, including tracing these problems back to Larry/Sergey. It is probably worth posting a link here: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/09/google-doubleclick-moz...

How effective is ungoogled-chromium at removing Google from the browser?
