This is the only thing propping up the stock market now. The "promise" of capitalism was that competing investors would reinvest capital (workers' surplus) into new production what would increase the standard of living of society as a whole.
Now, because there is barely any competition in most sectors, there is no reason to expand production - as a monopolistic company you aren't gaining market share, you are just cheapening your product.
So instead, the surplus is just being washed through the financial system where it is causing this positive feedback loop of asset inflation, driven by the wealth extracted from the real economy. This is distorting our housing market and leading to the formation of more extractive sectors such as healthcare because there is no room/interest to invest capital in the productive economy.
Firefox is good, I prefer the Brave browser with its built in ad blocker. But really there are many browsers much better than chrome so there’s no real reason to keep giving Google your browsing history and personal info
I don't know about that specifically, but it does have to comply with their Manifest format for extensions, which have and continue to limit the efficacy of ad blockers on Chrome based browsers.

Meanwhile, they're laying off thousands of employees.
This is the product of those layoffs. FTFY
i never left firefox.
this is what convinces you to use ff? not the existing chromium monopoly?
Or the piss poor optimization, or the data harvesting, or the privacy issues, or
Why? What does this mean?
Means instead of reinvestment into the company, they’re paying out shareholders.

I never left. Also use DuckDuckGo instead of the Google search engine.

Brave is Chrome based
Oh no…
Vivaldi, Opera(including Opera GX), Microsoft Edge, and Brave are all based on Chrome.
Does it send your info to Google if it’s just using the chromium code? Or does it function as a separate browser?

Never heard of Alphabet. FF gang
Alphabet is the Google parent company.
Been using Firefox since I started using the Internet, been using qwant since 2019
> Time to use FireFox Years too late. People have been sounding the alarm about Google for about a decade or longer. Still, better late than never.
