Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don’t give in to criminals or bullies

    That was for tying IE to Windows, and it was also done while there were paid web browsers competing with them. Then they forced OEM PC makers to bundle IE or get dropped as a customer for Windows licenses.

      I mean “either use a Chromium browser or you can’t display or use the site” sounds pretty similar to me.

        Couldn’t agree more

        However, unlike bundling a browser by default, you’d need to get a lot of websites to agree to “be normal” and support multiple browsers properly.
