And then what? Google will say that it's protecting critical functions from breaking and to piss off. Suddenly Google is a monopoly in the ad space because they have the predominant browser and let through only their ads.
they arguably are effectively a monopoly now. Them doing things like this isn't remotely new. They just got caught tracking everyone's smart TV usage. Nothing will happen to them until:
1) the Government decides to intervene.
2) Users give up and start using different services.
I'm pushing for #2, but then I switched off like a decade ago, when I saw the writing on the wall.
I agree it's totally possible they would do that, but one could figure it out pretty easily with a touch of detective work.
