I can in Thunderbird but I don’t reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.

For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like me-authy@example.com So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

What is the official reason here for removing it?

Good. Competition is good. If they suceed or fail just means we learn and build a better product.

Not leagaly but users will be frustated and leave. They will rollback within a day so you will not need to worry too much.

No ads. Lightweight app/website.

Maybe it is just avoiding big tech.

I want to take all my phone calls. I very rarely get one. Maybe 1 time per 6 months on my private phone. I have meetings on teams but don’t count them as it is remote working and only for work.

Besides, Google products just dies.

Can’t they just code this like an assistant or something? Much more power efficient.

You DO get a choice. You can shift to any other operating system in the world. I did go to Fedora with KDE.

This increase competition a lot. I like it. Sure people using iPhone may not like options, but at least some can now.

As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.

It is funny how they think this product useful to so many people. I believe they only do it because they have to use AI in any way but could not come up with something better.

That is good news - I assume they are done with the replacement as they announce this, otherwise they are just stupid. The problem is - why did it take this long time for a trillion dollar company to archive it?

Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?

I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.

The different popups just show how bad design the web is today.

Ask cookie question is required.

Login? Always create an account and proceed with all signup questions.

Agreement? Read them 1 hour until you have understood everything.

Webbrowser: can I get your location? And please the mic and video too!

Finally, don’t forget the ads!

So Google is a monopoly and removing funding to Firefox will help them not to be a monopoly? That does not sound right. Rather the opposite.

Nothing has been decided or done yet. Most likely they will just be forced to not abuse their position, for example make ads for it on www.google.com, don’t bundle Chrome with Android and such things.

I believe there will always be an alternative to Chrome available as the Open Source community will find a way together.

Block Chrome and use anything not Chrome based. In other words use Firefox.

Perfect

Ok. Can someone please update https://killedbygoogle.com/ with this and increase the counter with +1?

I am surprised of this.
