@[email protected] I tested in firefox and it still works fine there.
A wrong move that will cost!

  • Google secretly manipulates the functionality of a browser,
  • Affects the performance of computer systems,
  • It uses computing resources without user consent
  • increases energy consumption globally

How legal is what Google is doing?

This can be an interesting case for the European Court of Justice, which is just waiting to give them another fine of several billions!
