I'm afraid I disagree here. This line of thinking might lead some people to targeting Google engineers for harassment, doxxing, etc. We're better than that, I hope. Instead, we need to call on governments to hit Google harder than they hit Microsoft over Internet Explorer. Back then, there were talks of forcing Microsoft to split off IE as a separate company, we need to make Google do the same with Chrome, and find some way to compel them to stop all browser development altogether. We have antitrust laws, we just aren't using them.
I see your point

People call on governments to do things all the time, but it's often just ignored. How do we get governments to actually listen? How do we get this to actually happen? ~Strawberry
