Comment on why do some people really dislike google??
01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world 7 months agoat least they have done something for open source, something you and I can modify and maybe even turn it into a privacy-oriented browser. even android has custom roms, what matters is what can be done with the source code! And by the way, I am not dominated, because I use duckduckgo and open source software.

I don’t think you need to use it to be dominated. Google uses their 70% market share to push things like the Web Integrity API or new fingerprinting methods whether you use it or not. Diversity get’s thrown under the bus anyways. I’ve had a bit of a look at WebRTC during the videoconferencing times. It mainly matters what codecs Safari and Chrome implement these days.
Whatever messenging app your friends have preinstalled dictates if you can videocall them.
And their gmail account if the mails from your open source mailserver get accepted or just dumped into the spam folder.
I also use Android and have a Chromium based browser ready. I’m somewhat okay with it. But I don’t think that changes anything in the broader picture.
