      I mean, define “ok” in this context

      Will chrome kill you? No

      Will chrome physically hurt anyone else because you used it? No

      Will the internet become less free if google is able to successfully force this? Yes

      Does using chrome contribute to this? Yes, marginally

      Would as many people as possible switching off of chrome and chromium and onto an alternative help? Yes

      I find this whole thing an interesting argument, as someone who switched from chrome to firefox for extremely unrelated reasons months ago.

        The same people say “boycotts don’t work”. The facepalming here is hard. Welcome to the ad riddled future that you helped make because “people can use what they like” (because it’s being pushed by a huge corporate entity and they want you to use it so they can shove ads down your throat and you should laugh at people who would use anything different)
