They'd have to block all investment platforms. Even ETrade and Chase have ads like that.

FWIW I don't really like tech companies in general. They're monopolies.

That said, I really admire Google's environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They're doing better than any other tech company on that front.

Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it's 100% renewable (it's not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it's emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.

It's a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn't pay for.

Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

Yes. The problem with cookies was that they could be used to track and identify you. If this can't do that, then what's the issue?

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky

Blogger: "The entirety of China is doing this jenky thing!"

They just added a fee so that AWS can't copy it without paying. What's the big deal.
