- Terr_ 2y agoWhile that's useful, it also seems a bit like "For the next month, relatives will be visiting so my spouse won't be able to beat me." When there's no good reason to believe the other party will actually change their ultimate goals, it's better to cut your losses and switch sooner.

- Terr_ 2y agoSo which analogy (involving an habit-fraught chronic abusive relationship) would you use, if I told you you couldn't spend the next 10+ minutes carefully triangulating every detail for your maximum safety from negative online comments? If it were that easy, I think you'd have shared it immediately.
- rightbyte 2y agoThe analogy is that Google is abusing the nerd and he is making up excuses to cope, not that the nerd can't use their favorite browser extension. I wouldn't even say that it is obvious Spyware-aaS is a lesser problem in society than domestic abuse (even though the individual victim is far worse off, of course), due to ruined social cohesion etc.

- Terr_ 2y agoIf you need a year of runway, you're not really planning to move. :p
- rasz 2y agoDoesnt really matter because Google will be deleting V2 extensions from the Store.
