So what can we do? Egg their headquarters? Because so far our useless politicians haven't passed bills to fight this.
It'd help if the government wasn't run by a bunch of ancient humans that were there when cavemen would draw on cave walls. The government has shown time and time again they don't understand tech but always try to act like they do. Take that tiktok case for example. They made themselves look like idiots to the USA. Pathetic.
The worse problem is the corruption more than the age.

I think the moment for me was when they had Mark Zuckerberg himself, testify to Congress.
They didn't "grill him" as media would've liked to have you believe. The guy danced around all of Congress because they themselves didn't know a damn thing about what he was saying. Of course he wasn't penalized and got off scot-free.
Just like every other tech company. The FTC, has no teeth. The FCC, has no teeth. Congress, has no brain.
Use forks or other browsers than chrome.
Using browsers other than Chrome wouldn't work if websites implement it.
But if browsers that aren't going to implement this had a significant market share then Google couldn't just push this through.
Yep. I switched to Firefox (again) for this.
Yeah, but they don't (and good luck trying to convince the average chrome user to switch).
It's already too late. Google has a monopoly on the browser market. Do you think your regular normie would continue to use Firefox if Netflix, Instagram, TokTok etc. don't work anymore?
There is nothing we can do. The internet of old is already lost.
That is exactly what we feared about Internet Explorer 6.
The complete strangle hold of IE6 on the Internet is why I posted this from Edge (IE12ish) and why you're all reading this comment on Edge as well. /s
It's too late for Google Chrome even. There's nothing but IE6, and it will never die. /s
