    Demanding better is why we moved away from Firefox in the first place.

    No, you traded convenience for your privacy. Chrome was never better enough to justify an inch of the miles of records they got from you.

    company usage

    I will admit, my advocacy comes from a personal usage. Having been market-forced into supporting Chrome in my professional setting, I am familiar with the product.

    However, you're talking about a free product in either case. On what a business values, they'll spend money.

    That does nothing to fix the problem: Google is an advertising company that makes money from your communications & patterns.

    Get more tech people back on Firefox. Demand *BETTER*.

    When the word about Dragonfly came out, I knew that had to put my principles before my convenience

    Google is now, and I believe irrevocably, not a company with whom I want to do business. They took their advantage and have firmly leveraged it against the public interest.

    Advertising networks, and Google's specifically, need to be dealt with by the FTC immediately. We have the right to be secure in our correspondence in the USA. "Let me move your correspondence for free, and I will read everything about it, compile it, and sell what I can" is not a contract many people would join if the terms were laid so plainly.

  12. Sorry, the burden is shifted now so that you must DEFEND why anyone would use Chrome at all. Browsers have a few jobs, but Chrome does so much more!

    No, they don't. Not when it comes to how businesses in their state are allowed to operate. Citation: Tenth Amendment.

    Right: to even be granted standing as the injured party, they'd have to prove they DO have said authority over California ISP contracts. Which, as you point out, they say they don't.

    AC below also brings up the FTC angle, but I can't think of any instances where the FTC has gone after states rather than businesses anywhere around this topic.
