Really getting sick of the corporate control freaks.

At this point I'd gladly go back to Web 1 circa 1996 even if I had to listen to that modem screech and wait three minutes for my page to load.

With net un-neutrality it will be so expensive to have a fast loading website that only big corps will be able to afford fast loading websites. So 1996 is not far away from us.

The problem with this is that Google will soon end controlling most of the online content and therefore block other browsers and leverage its position as the ranking authority to encourage most websites to implement its blocking techniques. Soon with a browser different from Chrome you will only be able to surf small websites and combined with the net un-neutrality they will load super slow.

I recently deleted firefox since they deleted all their apps from the store. Firefox can fuck itself, I am using Vivaldi now.

I predicted they will remove the ublock from Chrome Store.
