I don't know any Android user who uses crypto.

Are you dumb? You did the same thing.

That's pretty optimistic, as tons of power users are still eating that Windows crap, too.

Most people here have a device in their pocket with either Google hardware or Google software. If even the nerds with a passion against ads can't not buy something from the biggest ad company, who can?

If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000's, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.

Google's core business is selling ads. So anything that aligns with selling ads is the path they'll take. Their users are the product.

With the direction FF is taking it's gonna be forks for now.

The only thing that held me back from using LibreWolf over Firefox was that it disabled (automatic) dark mode on websites. I understand this is part of the "resist fingerprinting" configuration. There's a workaround now ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732114).

In about:config update these 3 preferences:

  • privacy.resistFingerprinting = false
  • privacy.fingerprintingProtection = true
  • privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides = +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme

Google exists for selling ads. All their tech exists to support them doing just that. You're the product.

Great, let me contact Apple to roll out my advertisement strategy.

Oh damn, it's only about ads in their app store. They must make a killer now they're in Google's market of web advertising.

Are you seriously that dumb that you're comparing selling ads in a store (the App Store) with selling ads on every other inch of the internet?

There is quite some difference between selling ad-space in a store and having ads as your one and only business model. You wouldn't know of course and that's why you are a Google fanboy.
