Re: OT: Chrome users, be advised

Hi Flash,

Has there been any update on the status of this ?  Chrome is not my primary browser, but this 
could further curtail my usage of it, depending on how this goes.  (If memory serves, either the 
Epic Privacy Browser or another one with similar goals was based upon Google Chrome, and 
such a change would be completely at cross-purposes with that.  So if the base code changes, 
all that could go out the window ?)  

We've already seen FireFox gut their previous existing (and formerly good -- but no longer) 
Extensions architecture, on similarly flimsy and spurious arguments.  So we are watching our 
range of good browser options continuing to shrink.

 Y'all,
 
 Be advised that google, Chrome's
 parent, is considering altering their
 browser software in ways which will
 affect tracking, privacy, and
 ad-blocking.
