looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )
here is an article in hacker news since i’m sure they can explain this to you better than i.
and also some github docs
Question, I use Google docs a lot cause I like the sync and it’s convenient when I write something like a book on my computer and then can add more on my phone and it syncs. Does Apache open office do that? I would like to switch if all this chrome stuff is bad but I use all of it all the time
look into syncthing paired with local-first notes application (obsidian or similar), or simple text editor. work like a charm in my case.
https://cryptpad.fr is a potential option. You can also host it yourself if you don’t want to pay them for extra storage space.
I generally would recommend Libreoffice over AOO but not sure about cloud sync options
