@FredBrooker and <a tiny percentage of people w the necessary technical knowledge> can always compile Chromium from scratch :)+@Smutchings -
@aral@fredbrooker this is the problem. Techie people forget that they are the outliers, not the norm, and say stuff like that. -
@Smutchings@aral okay go use Edge then -
@Smutchings@aral or Firefox? that uses Pocket paid by Google Ventures? everything is connected, get real! -
@FredBrooker@Smutchings I’d rather change what real is :) -
@aral@Smutchings yeah, I wanted to change the reality when I was in my 20s, I doubt it when in 40s :D -
@FredBrooker Odd, I was quite all right with it in my 20s, now that I’m approaching my 40s, not so much ;) +@Smutchings - 1 more reply

@aral@Smutchings so please leave out Google in this, gives back to open source software community -
@FredBrooker Google is the one of the biggest corporate mass surveillance machines out there. Open source for them is PR. +@Smutchings -
@aral well, they sell ads, their plan is to sit in your brain definitely

@aral@Smutchings It does make it easier though, a lot... -
@jago_kosolosky@aral of course it does. It's in Google's favour for you to use their browser, optimise for it, and then force it on people. -
@Smutchings@aral Any browser for which this is not the case? All browsers try to get dev's on their side... -
@Jago_Kosolosky@aral most other browsers aren't designed to feed data to Google. -
@Smutchings@aral Haha agreed they'll feed it to another multinational
