I’m curious, would you disable GIF autoplay if the browser’s settings offered it?

Brave also deserves a mention. As long as Brave exists in its current form, there will be a version of Chromium without Google’s “bad” stuff.

“This training consisted of completing the entire NES catalogue, about 100 games, in one month.”

I’ve been playing video games my entire life, but I’m not sure I could survive this “training”.

Heh, when I watched the Chrome Summit recap video earlier this week, when they talked about the Privacy Sandbox developments, I remember thinking to myself “This is all cool, but I don’t trust you”. xD

Speaking of laws, there should be a law that forces blogs to put publication dates below article titles. Was this article published yesterday or 10 years ago?

> Use of the Proctorio software also requires the Google Chrome browser to be installed on the students’ computers.

Why am I not surprised. The only major browser that doesn’t block any trackers by default is the perfect fit for this type of software.
