If everyone who said they were going to do this actually did this, Chrome wouldn't do this, if that makes sense.

Or, idk, regulators could like, do their jobs.

Unfortunately, if the government had one single source to secretly control/monitor the world wide web from then they would gladly stand back and do nothing.

Having said that, I truly hope I'm wrong. And they are probably already doing what I described upstream from the browser anyways.

It’s really irritating but some websites only work on Chrome for me. They range from work related to Google Meet instances. I only use it then but yeah.

Have never had an issue with degoogled chromium not working on any sites that don't work with Firefox.
