Google says government proposals would “harm America’s consumers.”…

      Shatter it and probably have it bought out by Elon.

        Seriously. The only people willing to pay what it’s “worth” will end up doing the same thing (or worse).

        What we need are some actual privacy laws with teeth, so that the data isn’t worth as much to begin with.

          That regular people would stop using chrome if it turned into xhrome is highly unlikely. These are people who browse without adblocker, use facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and buy Amazon echos. It’d just lead to Doge influencing the direction of xhromium based browsers.

              Sadly, Servo more or less halted when Mozilla laid off people in 2020. It only really started back up in 2023 when they secured new external funding. That said, I don’t think Servo intends to be a fully-fledged Browser like Ladybird. While LB intends to be a car, Servo plans to be a great engine, but only that.

              …on the other hand, Ladybird’s lead dev seems like trouble. So maybe I’d rather wait for a Servo-based browser instead.

                I think you’d like to keep an eye on Verso.

                  Can’t believe I forgot about it, already starred and waiting to see where it goes. Thanks.

      The court still has to decide. Final verdict this august. There absolutely no way Google doesn’t call upon the current administration to help out. Let’s not celebrate before the final verdict. We don’t know whether it’s really final either or whether google can appeal, because if they can, it’ll probably take a few years before anything really happens. Maybe we’ll even see a new administration by then.
