You seem to have forgotten the extremely agressive marketing from Google. At some point, practically all major free software was bundled with Chrome, which installed by default. It was almost similar to malware in its persistence, and adopt

I think it has more to do with how thoughtless downvoting/upvoting can be in some implementations. But this isn't inherent to the upvote system. Requiring a comment for each vote to explain the user's position, for example, c

I tend to agree on all your points. But when a site I need to browse does require JS, simply "turning it on" is, in my opinion, much too lax. You really need more granularity in managing javascript than the binary enable/disa

I agree with the gp that consecutive full reboots definitely shouldn't be necessary. That Windows forces your hand on when to reboot just worsens the case. The state of Windows update is terrible to me. Say what you will about Linux, b

For native vertical tabs, you can also check Vivaldi. I have a hard time understanding why, with widescreen so common nowadays, it isn't a standard native feature in all browsers.

It's still very suspicious though that such changes happen right after Google implemented their own native adblocker. If tomorrow 3rd party adblockers stop working, Google can now point out that people can rely on their own solution. P
