VIII. Conclusion

Google aspires to be a different kind of company. It’s impossible to spell out every possible ethical scenario we might face. Instead, we rely on one another’s good judgment to uphold a high standard of integrity for ourselves and our company. We expect all Googlers to be guided by both the letter and the spirit of this Code. Sometimes, identifying the right thing to do isn’t an easy call. If you aren’t sure, don’t be afraid to ask questions of your manager, Legal or Ethics & Compliance.

And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

Two things though, 1) ad blocking is a method of user self-control, freedoms of choice, expression, etc. and 2) people did talk up in regard to Manifest V3, but Google gave people some Alphabet soup, well, zero fcuks.

So, those 2 points, Google established the Googlers as evildoers and acted for their own profit.

Simple.

On that note. Anyone know how to turn that off?
Don't need Google hijacking every URL I tap from their search engine on my phone.

Well, switched to Firefox for the heck of it. Forced myself to use it for the day (on the phone as well).

So far so good. Will keep on using it until FireFox ****s up and then switch back to Chrome :D
 
Screw chrome and chromium as well then.
It's easy to change browsers. Edge switching to chromium might have been a mistake for MS

I believe the smaller independent developers relying on Blink will have a hard time should they seek to retain some of the former functionality before that of Manifest V3, but Microsoft is more than capable of sticking a fork in Blink, they will probably retain it in its Manifest V3 form, but alter it for their market and functionality purposes. It doesn’t change that Google is making it a tremendous task for developers not to comply with their ‘open-source’ project.

The chances are better for everyone just to accept Manifest V3 because every time Google fiddle with the engine then you have to fiddle with your engine, and this is going to have an influence on many other API functionalities as well, also for website and app developers.

At the end of the day, Manifest V3 is taking away more control from the user which is bad for consumerism and many other types of individual freedoms.

The only positive coming from this is that organisations like Mozilla will gain back some popularity and market share. Google will still be the most dominant player.

There is no word to date that software like Edge, Opera and Amazon’s Silk, and others like Brave and Vivaldi will be able to or enabled to maintain the API compatibility in their downstream forks.

China with their blocking syndrome must think this is funny AF.
 
Can’t believe I’m saying this hit new Edge is awesome.

And it’s not even finished yet.

I have to wonder how many Chromium developers will now be absorbed by Mozilla or move back to Mozilla. Mozilla once stepped into a similar situation and most developers then moved to Chromium. This change impacts more than simple ads blocking.

But this doesn’t relate to Chromium does it?
