It makes sure you’re running an approved browser with an approved OS on approved hardware and Google controls it all.

Basically, say goodbye to Adblock, video downloaders, startup search engines, accessibility tools, and Linux.

Or more accurately, the rest of us will simply fork the Internet itself.

who is the approving authority here? google since they are the one who facilitates and pushes it? internet is a common ground for all kinds of people and google trying to be an authority here is annoying.
