With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they're going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don't care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.
It seems like it's already beginning. For one, Firefox is getting blocked more and more often as being "out of date" (it's not) while a chromium-based browser is fine. My VPN keeps getting flagged as malicious (PIA). It's getting really irritating.
I use PIA a lot, But yeah a lot of VPNs are getting flagged as malicious these days, to be fair there's a lot of malicious people doing things on them.
Google purposely gives you an issue when you use their search engine with a VPN. when that happens I say fuck your capcha and use duck duck go
Long live the Duck
or SearX, which by proxy uses the duck and whoever else :P
