@yogthos might be. Knowing the browser engines, and browser _engineers_ that work on this stuff, from Mozilla, Google and MS, I say a lot of things aimed at Google are simply wrong. No affiliation to any of them, just to be clear.
And what I've said is, _I_ don't but it. That article. They likely have some shady deals going on, I don't know.
But this particular linked comment sounds empty to me.
Personally I find them way better then Facebook or MS. (Not Apple, though.)
