It's May 13th, 2026, the 41st anniversary of that time the cops airdropped bombs onto a black neighborhood in Philadelphia, an act for which zero people were punished.

Google Chrome, the software that the user decided to use, is not "reaching into users machines." It's doing what Google wants it to do, which is the purpose of the software. Users gave up agency when they agreed to the EULA. The "consent" shit is an incorrect interpretation of Directive 95/46/EC.

To Whom it May Concern,

I have updated my guide to configuring Firefox, which now moves a lot of manual labor into a policies.json file you can just put on your computer. There are still some manual steps, but toil is greatly reduced. This is a big change from the do-every-step-by-hand approach previously used in this guide, and I would appreciate feedback.

Thank you for your time,
khm
