> USB, Bluetooth [...] have no place in a browser

How about letting users decide to which capabilities they give permission depending on what they need? I don't want to push them to download and install a whole software package locally which has usually access to more data and hardware APIs compared to a webapp that temporarily lives in a browser tab.

No, we're not referring to it being blocked only in China. It was blocked on 4th June worldwide by all search engines that rely on Bing (DDG, Qwant, Ecosia, ...)

You can see them returning no results for "tank man" from the web archive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27398376

> I'd honestly rather have a search provider run by the CPC

Any reason behind your preference? It baffles me to hear you'd rather use a heavily censored and CCP-controlled search provider than a search provider from a free market with an alternative business model.

DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Ecosia, Yahoo, etc. they all rely on Bing (Some only for images)[1].

> Works fine for me

Not on June 4th[2] (the date when the Tiananmen Square massacre ended). Microsoft "fixed" it after the backlash.

True. I abandoned Facebook long time ago because of its low-value feed. Recently had to join LinkedIn and was disappointed immediately to see yet another feed which is rarely informative whomever I follow

Stack Exchange sites are not mere social media but more like an encyclopedia for specific topics. Answering as well as asking good questions requires extensive research and being mindful of future readers.

Sad to see SE contributors are compared with FB users.

I doubt MS wants that kind of segmentation if they themselves rely strongly on the Chromium project.
