I feel the opposite, the more chrome abuse their dominance the closer they move to a tipping point where enough people become browser interested to return to browser wars. It's likely one of those things where it has to go to far, then

I use a VPN for 3 main reasons: 1) I need to come out of a particular country for some systems access. If I'm travelling it's easier than having IT team change permissions. 2) I use dedicated IPs for some systems. 3) Testing websi
