Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

"If people don't agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers)."

Is it OK to use non-Chromium browsers that send search query data or other behavioural data to Google by default

"Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web."

Let's say, hypothetically, the company behind a particular non-Chromium browser is Google's business partner and dependent on Google for its continued existence

And that Google can effectively pull the plug on this non-Chromium browser at any time for any reason

Would choosing this particular browser be a correct course of action to "hit them where it hurts"
