I've been using the Chromium browser for certain websites, and that's about to end.
Google's greed-fueled moves -- this time to disable vital extensions that provide better privacy and security -- are unacceptable to me.
The stakes here are quite high. If Google succeeds what it's attempting to do -- forcing us to use only Google-approved privacy and security choices -- we're in trouble.
Firefox looks like the best way forward at this point.
