Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.
-
Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.
-
This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.


That’s exactly the problem. If all the people that should know better promoted Firefox in stead of shitting on Mozilla it would not be 2-3% browser. Linux is hitting 5% market share and it’s way more complicated to switch OS than a browser. It doesn’t make sense that even less people user Firefox. Of course it’s just my opinion but I believe that consistent effort from the community to warn people about Chrome and promote Firefox would help it keep sufficient market share to stay relevant. Instead, even here on lemmy, people love to complain about Mozilla and promote other browsers. So yeah, great job everyone.
