What? No, absolutely not. Did you not learn your lesson when google decided to actively try to kill ad blocking? Why on EARTH would I want all of my desktop apps at the mercy of google and chromium?

You can tell me until you're blue in the face that you also think these apps should be cross-browser but we all know that will never happen.

This is whataboutism. There is still firefox as possible second engine impl and you are arguing its better to not have a layer at all than accepting the possibility google might take it away. Plus most people are on macs or windows where there are at least as bad actors playing against them.
