Sure, but is Google gonna pay them or you hoping they will do that work for free? A browser doesn’t seem like a hobby project to me.
I mention software freedom whenever I can.

I didn’t use it but the lack of an explanation is a frustrating response. Give feedback to the feedback??
That layer shows it doesn’t make sense to start on your original layer, so let’s stop that common line of though too? I can’t talk to everyone so this card is currently a single target, negation and destruction :)
I mostly agreed on the other paragraph. Just that friends can not understand but still be supportive, and sad you’re not there for games (which are more important than the public would agree).
To pretend they have a choice is what the “free will” assumption is all about - but everything everything else you said was logical.
Though I would disagree about how life changing it can be to stop or not play a video game. It has not been easy for my best friends to understand all the reasons why I can no longer play certain games with them or refuse to play new ones (I use Linux and won’t dual boof Windows, I’d rather play open source game and use open source communication software).

Not sure why your intuition would go there, I can imagine situations where the caller would feel/be threatened if they didn’t remain anonymous. After hearing about people suing for helping them in emergency situations and police abusing people’s rights to get evidence then if I felt I had to report something I’d want to remain anonymous.
How often does it end up saving peoples lives though?
Did you pay for this game?
(Edit: just asking, not making a point)
Are downvoted posts also one of the same?

If you can’t modify it, sell it or know what the game software is even doing then calling that “ownership” would be rather lacking. I mean in terms of traditional ownership, not the modern definition: “page 69 of the EULA defines “purchasing” (the software) as a limited, non-transferable lease which can stop working at any time due to dependency on a proprietary server code we will never share I fucked your mom”.
Probably the gun industry lobbying for this 🫢
Do you mean out of touch as in unaware or diverging opinions?
There’s a mode where you swipe your finger over each letter in order and it auto completes the word. Not sure how often younger people use it (though I wasn’t aware you could do that until I saw someone younger doing it).
Google can make it more difficult but it’s like anti-cheat, a losing arms race. In the end users control if adverts play even if Google controls the computer as strictly as North Korea OS.
Words do not have innate definitions and “piracy” can mean whatever you want (when not in a court of law). If people understand what you mean then no direct issue. Due to the association with stealing and murder on boats I won’t call copyright infringement “piracy” (thanks music industry propaganda) or when blocking adverts. If you insist on calling me a pirate I will respond with pirate talk, ye landlubber.
Requesting users play ads but giving them the content even if they don’t means it’s more like asking for a charitable donation than a transaction. They could paywall it but they don’t, and it’s not like there’s a competitor with the same content.
Also, Google feel entitled to record your voice on your phone and send it to their servers. Do they think their users are a charity, or worse?
Next time ““piracy”” comes up this is how I want to write a reply.
Endless feature creep made browsers are the most complex programs ran by most users. I disbelieve a new browser could be made (securely, or at all). Forks are nice (I use Librewolf btw) but they do not deviate significantly. The browser market is unhealthy and unrecoverable: either it’s Google vs Firefox forever or one wins.
Perhaps the alternative to the all-in-one software solution is just to use smaller programs dedicated to each common use of the modern browser (a video player for playing video, an old style internet text-page reader for browsing text, etc).
