I hate to say it, but if you used Chrome to read this, then you're part of the problem.

Awful stuff like this wouldn't stand a chance if Google didn't have such a near-monopoly position.

For the sake of the open internet, please switch to a different browser. IMO, Firefox is best*, but even something chromium based is probably fine. Just not Google Chrome.

* On desktop - Firefox is a bit weaker on Android, with an extemely limited set of extensions (but still better than Chrome with no extensions) and just a Safari wrapper on iOS, with no extensions. (But sync works everywhere!)

(I posted something similar in a different thread recently but I think it bears repeating.)

Definitely not with the Iceweasel fork. https://github.com/fork-maintainers/fenix

Is that the one that harangues you any time you load a page with non-GPL'd JavaScript on it? Because that was incredibly annoying.

Nope, I've never seen that. Iceraven is just Firefox for Android with more extensions enabled, about:config support, and a couple of other minor annoyances fixed.
