I think ultimately this is a good decision. The web has flourished in part because Google has supported Chrome so well over the years since they are incentivized to do so. You don't have to use Chrome (I don't) to benefit from this second order effect.

Google has systematically shittified the internet with Chrome by pushing bunk standards that other browsers are forced to adopt.

Just recently they got fed up with ad-blockers so what do they do? Yeah. Then what just happened with android apps? yeah.

Google is not good for the internet. Anyone saying this is just sucking google's dick and siding with a major corporation.

Also fuck AMP.
