There appears to be a really prevalent attitude here on HN that you can either really love or really hate a company. If you like it, you use all their stuff. When the switch in your mind flips and you know you must instantly start hating them, it means you must stop using every instance of their software, whether it's related or not to whatever your issues were.
It seems kind of silly.
If somebody comes up with some new technology that makes the web better in some way, but also means it's more difficult or impossible to target advertising, do you think Google will implement it? Do you think the makers of Bing will?
Am i the only one that thinks that a handful of Ad companies shouldn't be controlling how the web evolves?
They don't have to be nefarious, they just have to want to use you to sell ads.
Funny. I thought their goal was to sell Chromebooks. :X
It's about distrust, not hate.
Did you know that the Google Chrome New Tab page will occasionally display an advertisement for an entirely unrelated Google product? The latest one that I saw was for the Pixel! (NB: I've never seen this happen in Chromium.)
