Will ungoogled chromium be able to patch this out?
Beside this, I’m still a bit worried about the state of the internet. Currently, ad revenue is what keeps a lot of sites online/free to use. Within the current economic system, is it even feasible to have privacy online?
Eventually the chromium base will be too hard to patch if Google has their way. Surfing on ungoogled chrome is keeping the user agent the same as chrome. This shows devs and companies that chrome dominates and therefore they should only code sites to support it. Only true way to protest these changes is to switch to a different browser. Firefox and its forks are the only privacy focused options.
Who gives a fuck? It’s not our problem if it’s not feasible, they can find ways of making money without living in our asses. Or they can make a bit less money - they can buy less latte and guacamole etc
For Google, yes that’s true. Subscription model YouTube is working so that seems fine.
But for other websites, such as news sites etc. I wonder if there is a feasible alternative because I don’t want those sites to go away.

Non-tracking ads exist and work fine…
