More than likely that they want to kill WMP
Good riddance but what they replace it with will prolly be shitter than WMP.
Prolly worse than RealPlayer. Who remembers that mess.
Nah, but thanks.
Was waiting on Steam to allow things that weren't Steam games to run on Proton.
That has happened and WINE is now version 4.0
Going to Kubuntu sometime this weekend.
Software now adays seems to want to update every 6 hours.
This is not surprising and prolly the reason for stuff like this.
People should make stuff that doesn't require that many updates.
Unless its in the multiple of billions, this will be just a slap.
They are one of the biggest companies in the world. I am sure $100,000,000 fine would suck somewhat, but its not enough.
It isn't only Flash. 57 broke a lot of my add ons as well.
Why are they there in the first place. I don't want them off. I want them to never exist in the first place
Also, why cannot I set the new tab page to about:blank.
This is a good step. It's great that browser makers are generally not beholden to people like advertisers for money, so they can make more user-friendly decisions.
I don't know if I missed something there, but that is wrong.
How is breaking my add-ons user-friendly.
Why are there ads on the newtab page.

VLC > MPC
MPC and CCCP were better than VLC at one point, but that time it long past.

So, what, they can make a shitty web app that will have less features than WMP.
This is a incredibly bad idea, no matter how shit 10 is.
Or at least, don't tell the users this.
Mac Pro is not a laptop.
There should be a law that requires all device manufacturers to use regular or Phillips screws.
Nah, but thanks.

They will give 125 channels for $45 a month.
Also, this still only works in Chrome.
It is a revenue stream.
No way they are going to pass that up.
Just look at adblock plus. You pay them money and they will show your ad.
So, how much do you think it would cost for sites to pay M$ to trust it.
I think somewhere in the $50000-$500000 range.
I think most user wouldn't notice or care.

There is a big difference.
One is a souped up web browser and the other a piss poor OS
Hmm. Maybe they are not so different.
So it can be a shitty Ubuntu clone?
Didn't do so great with Android.
I don't see how you would use these things.
You will get one tab opened, and that will be it.
Maybe M$ just wants kids in their systems sooner and sooner.
Not going to happen
The people in power have the money and power, and they want to keep it.,
They wouldn't allow this.
Unless its in the multiple of billions, this will be just a slap.
They are one of the biggest companies in the world. I am sure $100,000,000 fine would suck somewhat, but its not enough.
If they were true to their faith they wouldn't care
They would be helping the needy already out of their own pocket.
Google says the decision to police these permissions was made to protect user privacy.
HAHAHAHAHA
Like Google will ever do this. Their whole business model pretty requires a lack of this.
I use the dictionary...
It does, but you can wait 5-10 years before needing a new one. They keep creating words.
As long as it is big enough to take Amazon out as well. I know they are both based outta similar locations.
Not if they could take the wank hologram out of it completely.
If I could get an old razr with a slightly larger screen that will do music, podcasts, and cat pictures, I would be good to go.
