   The amount of roadblocks Google is putting up for GrapheneOS is just ridiculous. None of their decisions make any sense, from the delayed source patches upstream, to the embargos, attestation issues, etc. Google simply regrets android being open source.

      I hope people remember this when advocating for chromium. Just because it is open source doesn't mean they don't control it. We need to start the long process of hard forking now or turn to alternatives like Firefox as a new foundation.

      Android wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't open source. With all the work from outside Google. The same is true chrome.

      But they won't learn that on their own. They are breaking the deals. So we move. We force their hand

         LOL "start" using Firefox. I've been using Firefox for half a decade. There's zero I miss about Chrome.

            Rather than being smug, I’ll say awesome! The best time to start using Firefox is yesterday. The second best time is now.

            IOW:

            Don’t threaten to stop using Google Chrome if they do one more evil thing. Start now.
