Ooh baby, this is just a tiny part in how terrifying they actually are for the open web. Their implementation of manifest V3, platform for browser extensions (that they basically force every other browser to use), along with the deprecation of V2-based extensions (starting this month) is straight up authoritarian. In short, they entirely remove blocking of webRequest and Event pages (user-side background scripts), among other things. This will essentially kill open ad blockers (like uBlock origin) and let them control the supported ones (like AdBlock), meaning we will have ads from advertisers who pay the fee purposely let through.
We have known about this coming change and its implications for 5+ years.

Meanwhile Firefox, who would also have to implement it for cross-compatibility, will not remove those critical features, as well as will keep support for V2 extensions. This is only one aspect in which Firefox is committed to user privacy, security, and control. I would highly recommend Firefox to everyone, including the Android version.

We have currently had 12 consecutive months of record breaking global temperatures, with an average of 1.63°C above the pre-industrial levels. Good times.
