I can’t believe I’m having to write this code in a fucking web server. What a mockery of the web, human rights, and the GDPR.

Fuck you, Google!

@aral Iwon't add it.
I don't know if Chrome cares at all. Also.people decide whether they support Google. They are free to user a different browser.

@daniels Not everyone can change their browser. That’s both elitist and victim blaming.

Google is to blame here, no doubt. Fuck them. But that doesn’t also mean fuck anyone who is forced to use Chrome for one reason or other. It took me longer to write you this reply than it would for you to add one extra header to your server responses.

@aral Can you share one use case where one is not able to switch feom Chrome to another brwoser?

I would add that line then. But I would also say people using Chrome already don't have privacy.

@daniels @aral I can only think of two common cases where people can't change their browser: 1) it's a work machine controlled by their employer 2) they're too low-tech to handle a browser installation.

@aral @daniels there is also the case, where the browser is bundled with a mail client (the only MUA that can access ).

@daniels @aral ElectronMail is based on , which I think is based on Chromium, but certainly not based on Ungoogled Chromium. github.com/vladimiry/ElectronM

@resist1984
This is a special case, but. At work my employer trusts me enough to give me admin rights on my PC so of course I installed Firefox and use it 99.9% of the time. Unfortunately, for my department's weekly Jitsi meetings, I have to use Chrome because if I need to share my screen, Firefox won't show my mouse pointer. This issue with FF has existed for a long time and unfortunately still persists.
I'll check if Ungoogled Chromium has a Windows installer...
