That’s fine. My goal is not to evangelize people and force everyone to use he same thing. A lot of people will stick to chrome, and other people will use Firefox, and even smaller subset will use privacy oriented forks of Firefox. Get this mf some diversity.

the benefits of it only come around if a bunch of people are doing it.

whats bad about this is google’s monopoly and influence over the market, not individual people’s preferences.
