Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web

The much maligned "Trusted Computing" idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google's ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google's hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.

What's that, Google? You say you want me to switch to DuckDuckGo and Firefox? And you're insistent that I do it? Okay, sure.

  DDG is far from perfect. It's like Brave. They like to make you think they're all about privacy, when they're not. I recommend you use Bing.

  (Joke aside, if you want privacy, use a search engine without logging in and use a VPN.)

  Yandex? Because the Russians are so so very trustworthy. Pass.
