still using things like Google Chrome or Chromebooks in 2023 is actually reckless behaviour. stuff like manifest v3 and the web integrity api just prove that google will use their monopoly to take over the open internet

Yes, why have we as a society allowed Google of all companies to take over something as important as public education? It's downright dystopian.
