Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible

What about search engines? DDG and bing suck ass, google is the only of the three that returns results that actually remotely match what I type in.

I use search.brave.com, it works for me.

That used to be the case but now Google is giving me like a page worth of AI generated pages as a result that all have a different answer. DDG is absolutely useless for sites in my native language but for everything else it beats Google.

DDG works great for me…? Like one out of fifty searches maybe I go “Hmm, bad results, let me try Google,” but it almost always works as well as Google with less noise.

Google engineers are making my chances of using a Chromium-based browser (near) impossible

Don’t blame the engineers. It’s leadership.

What if the engineer is trying to be a leadership

So, Google, the Overlord of the Internet apperantly, wishes to make his Kingdom an uninhabitable hellscape of constant ad harrassment that anyone who wants to keep their sanity will interact with as little as possible, only going there when necessary.

Ok, then. Good luck with that Business.

Just wondering, will one day Humanity, who has pretty much agreed in perfect unison completely independent from each other, since the golden age of television, that we all hate ads, finally be heard?

Humanity, who has pretty much agreed […] that we all hate ads

Yeah, I thought that too, but there is a lot of people who find those television ads “so funny” and actually like to watch them. Some naive people (there’s a lot of them) will be perfect preys for this DRM & ads crap.

Ah yes kill the internet. I’m OK with that.
