I fail to see how the engineers building the technical side of this are relevant to this case. It’s not their decision to put this into Chromium or not.

You always have a decision. Especially when you’re a highly qualified engineer that could choose to work somewhere else easily.

You say that like it’s easy to deal with a sudden loss of income and the potential that their living situation will radically change before they land that new job. I can’t imagine that working at that level leads to particular quick interview and hiring processes.

True, it was not their decision, but they had the choice to show google the middle finger.

The next person would do it then. I don’t see that as a solution.
