A few days ago, a friend asked me what browser I was using, a question he asked me in a genuine manner of getting my opinion.
When I asnwered that I was using Firefox, he - again, what seemed to be genuine - wanted to know why.
Knowing that he likes to use adblockers, I then told him about Google’s recent attempts of attacking an open web, specificly mentioning ManifestV3 and WEI API and how they are a potential threat to his use of adblockers.
“Well, I use ublock origin on chrome and it still works, so I’ll keep using that.”
Your friend represents the norm, in my experience. One huge source of societal problems is the inability to consider the unavoidable consequences of one’s actions. I mean, just look at what we’re doing to the entire planet…
The problem is the pot boils to slow for us to perceive the change. Many people are unable or unwilling to look at the bigger picture because they’re too comfortable where they’re at in the moment.

Apparently, I am not convincing enough.
