This is unfortunate. I've been advocating for Firefox and managed to switch many of my friends. This is where I draw the line.
Time to switch to something else.
to what tho?....
May I suggest we switch to a gopher or gemini internet?
One thing about gopher/gemini is that it's practically designed to be easily scraped by AI.
Which I'd consider not a variable anylonger tbh: anything on the internet that is not put behind a login wall should be assumed as scrapped, machines can work 24/7 like humans and downloading is easy.
Like sure, we gotta fight that, but technology for open access is not the field where that fight has to be fought.
But what if I need info from the main web?
