No, I don't want Microsoft to force people to use Edge on Windows. I also don't want Apple to force people to use Safari on iOS; but even then, the argument for why one of the outcomes of this change is bad (i.e it will make Chromium even more dominant) doesn't apply to Edge, since Edge is Chromium.

I agree that nothing about the current situation is ideal. These changes won't take us from a good situation to a bad one, it will just take us from a bad situation to another situation that's slightly differently bad.

I hope you're right that uBlock Origin can get people to switch from Chrome to Firefox on mobile... but proper Firefox has been on Android forever, yet Firefox's market share on mobile is pretty much non-existent. Why hasn't the "educate people about firefox + ublock" strategy worked there? Why do we think it would work better on iOS?
