@unexpectedteapot "seems disingenuous" or "the authors are naive" is a FAR cry from "IS lying" and "Google is making a concerted effort to kill ad blockers."
@j2kun If Google - and certainly Chromium - folks wanted the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn't have been spending the past decade giving people every reason not to do so
@j2kun And I say this as someone who has *repeatedly* tried to engage in (technical, on-point!) discussion with Chromium devs fronting shitty proposals like this and just getting blocked for the attempt
@j2kun It's not "misleading". It's drawing conclusions based on past behaviour, and the post very likely says exactly what the author intended.
Asking for those conclusions to be downgraded absolutely *is* asking people to give Google the benefit of the doubt.
@joepie91 Not asking anyone to give Google the benefit of the doubt, just not to mislead in their "tl;dr"s
