On what planet does that make any sense???

Sure, they'll move to a browser that has even worse TOS, yeah.

I moved to Waterfox recently. Google Chrome, hell no.

Imagine reading the terms of service of Firefox, whatever slight change they might bring, and thinking "yeah, I'll move to Chrome to protect myself, that'll show them!".

What comes after stupidity?

It’s just more stupidity, all the way down.

Haha, that's not how it works.

If someone is using Firefox, they've likely already moved on from Chrome at some point.

Thank you for this information, saved me time looking up where this trash came from. OPs really need to verify the legitimacy of articles before posting.

Based on the name, looks like it’s for beta males

Apparently it only impacts officially compiled versions. Guess I'll just stay away from those? I run librewolf anyway and that aside I'm on Linux where officially compiled versions aren't even the norm. Chrome is definitely not my answer
