Doesn't really matter at this point, I have already uninstalled chrome on all devices at home and work. I guess Google can still try to slow down other browsers on YouTube and other Google services though.
Trust me when I say this - they will keep pushing until their services are no longer usable at all on anything other than chrome. And they will find enough money to keep the antitrust regulators quiet. Meanwhile a big chunk of those who switched away from chrome will return to it - because principles are not bigger than convenience. Meanwhile, those with enough constitution to stay put will find themselves excluded from a large part of the web - a digital pariah, if you will.
Yeah I don't doubt at all that Google will try. I'm a bit more optimistic than you that we will continue to have ways to get around their bullshit though.
I really really want their bullshit to be defeated and freedom to prevail. What I described towards the end is partially my experience. But it's not a complete loss yet. I'm trying to get everyone off chrome, and more people seem to be listening this time.
