I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.

Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.

Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.

    It’s ad blocking and entire operating systems, or computers configured in any way they don’t like.

    If this goes through, they can force you to install any plugins they wish, or disable any plugins they wish. Or make sure you don’t run Linux and only Windows or Mac. They can force you to have your camera on. They can do anything since they make the rules.

    No innovation will take place. Competing browsers or software will not be allowed or manipulated into marketed as “unsafe”.

    This is a takeover of the open web stack as we know it.

      They also could use it to slowly push ChromeOS-only features and services. Don’t forget they have their own “OS”!
