I think "don't use Chrome" is really not the best way to fight this - instead, make it known. Get out to as many people as possible that this thing exists, spread awareness, explain the consequences, make a stink.

Google is absolutely in a position to implement this and I figure a good number of sites would immediately join. However, the image of "tech" is tarnished enough already and the general population is more aware of the importance of having control about their online experience.

So I'm kinda optimistic that more public awareness of this might lead to a larger backlash and might make Google think twice in continuing this, lest risking a PR disaster.
