Why would anyone in their right mind want anything to do with Google? Open-source, or otherwise?

It is hard to avoid the clutches of Google. There is not great alternative to YouTube (owned by Google) yet. Even Microsoft is turning to Chromium, as is Brave. The Mozilla engine has issues, and Google has done a good job co-opting competition (e.g. Opera, etc.).

I don't WANT to use Google Chrome, but I DO want to use ClearPlay's streaming movie filters, which work only with Chrome/Amazon. ClearPlay is the good guys. Google and Amazon are not. Sometimes we have to make friends with Mammon. Who on line isn't using Google or Microsoft (or both's products)? Maybe those using Apple Safari exclusively, and they are better behaved than the others but not exactly clean either.

Bit Chute. Not great but it's getting there.
