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.)

What does HN think about Mozilla adding some premium tier of the browser itself for a small subscription fee? I already subscribe to MDN out of sheer principle, and would be OK substituting some bullshit like Hulu if it would help even more... I am willing to pay the true cost of the "open" web, whatever it is. Just tell me how much and where to sign.

Money is going to be a required tool to fight back against google, whether we like it or not. Capitalizing on the lesser evil to fight the bigger evil is not a terrible idea in my estimation.

I just donate to the Mozilla Foundation each month: https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/

I feel like they could do better, but on the whole, I'm happy with what they provide to everyone for free.
