Google already ruined the internet when they were selling SEO courses.

Wait they did that?! Lmao
Still do.
I see
I am doing course by google but SEO courses are a bit low, even for them
Don't forget, Google is an ad company.
Google teach people how to game search engine rankings. Those SEO ridden sites show up in results. They have ads. Who sells ads? Google.
Fucking Ourboros of capitalism. Eating it's own tail for short term profits.
Edit: Google have been selling SEO courses for a long time. They came on heels of Adwords and Adsense.
I dare them to fuck up Chrome. It'll be the easiest switch of my life.
The smell has been in the air for almost a year, if you haven't changed your shoes yet I don't know what to tell you.
My foot's already half way out the door. I have all my plugins and password manager ready to go when I end up making the switch.
The only annoying thing right now is, there's no tab groups on Firefox, and Google sites like Gmail and calendar have a weird aesthetic behavior where scroll bars show up where they shouldn't be. It's like nails on a chalkboard but for my eyes.
I also really do like using GPay in Chrome on Mobile when it's available but I'll have to forego that, or just use it when I need to.
Sidenote, Google knows it's coming too cuz they made their password manager much better, and released passkey support. The timing is too perfect, they want another reason for people to stay. Good thing I have my own password manager!
you see, they aren't fucking up chrome
they are fucking up the internet
A perfectly functioning internet??
Okay admittedly, that is a stretch.
But they’re certainly not helping.
