The best way to oppose this is to use non-chromium browsers like Firefox and take away Google’s source of power: chromium market share
i agree, the problem is, that if google succeeds and (popular/mainstream) websites refuse to let said browsers access the sites, it's an uphill battle in wich we will eventually lose the normie webizens.
And there’s the core problem: the proportion of people on the internet who have no idea what they’re doing has grown by orders of magnitude, and big tech has realized they can just treat and exploit them like cattle, because almost nobody has a full and complete understanding of what’s going on, or how policies driven by big tech like this are catastrophically bad for normal users on the internet.
