And people are surprised that the US gov is suggesting Chrome be taken away from the search engine? I wonder why…

Chrome doesn’t seem to play a role in what they are talking about.

“Chrome” and “Google” both exist for iOS but both are basically used as web browsers.

“Google’s ownership of web browsers” is interchangeable for just “Chrome” here.

I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

As a web developer I’m interested if there’s something I can do to block it. I’ve already done an interest-cohort() hack and another that stops Instagram in-app JavaScript from being injected.

I’d love to get a collection of these “hacks” packaged in a Ruby gem.

Edit: I should’ve read this before commenting, I see that you have to fill out that form but list every variation of http/https and submit every domain/subdomain. Easy for me to do, but for a large website? Yikes

Keeping my eye out for the class action on this one.

This thing is hilarious, just think that your “broswer” app could modify the content of what you’re watching is crazy… It’ll surely be AI-powered
