A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Google dropping ublock origin represents a flawless David vs Goliath victory for its developer (lemmy.ml)

I'd call it a pyrrhic victory at best. It's like if Ukraine got Russia to use their nukes on them and there was no response from the rest of the world. Sure, you got them to use their strongest weapon, but you still got nuked and they'll continue as usual.

I do see your point, but OTOH Chrome ain't the only browser. Ublock getting kicked off Chrome is just going to be one more factor that will tip some people away from it. I don't strongly disagree, but I see it as a net positive. Maybe that does undo my shower thought a little, but hey, it was literally a shower thought. 🙂

Chrome ain't the only browser

It almost is, though. That's why it's important to support FF/Gecko
