I think I'm a little fired up about the Play Music -> YT Music migration, recent Google Photo storage restrictions, etc. What I see in TFA is another case of Google limiting choice in a user-hostile way. I happen to use Firefox and will be unaffected by the above, but Firefox is the only non-Webkit-based browser of any consequence. I'm incensed on behalf of people who use Epiphany or Brave or Konqueror or anything like that.

So you're mad about something entirely unrelated and equating this to user hostility. If you wanna use Brave or Konqueror, go for it. As long as it's your default browser you can log in. This just prevents an app from using an embedded webview.

I'm a big Firefox fan and I don't love google, but this is your standard hn 'circlejerk' of bashing google because google bad. Just like every single Amazon thread, regardless of topic, devolves into "yeah but comingling"

Google can be bad and still do the right thing for user privacy. In my opinion, they did just that.
