And yet for me DuckDuckGo provides better results, consistently, for last few years. If “internet has gotten much worse” is true (I agree in many aspects it did) then DDG must be improving search at faster pace than Google.
Subject: Potential Threat to Digital Freedom from Google's Web Environment Integrity
Dear [Recipient],
I'm writing to highlight an important matter regarding the digital freedom and competitiveness on the internet. Google is rapidly advancing a policy named "Web Environment Integrity" (WEI) in their Chromium browser.
WEI allows developers to regulate browser configurations, which could lead to limiting the usage of free browsers or operating systems. This creates a potential for a web environment that discriminates based on browser usage. Further, this scenario could pave the way for governments and corporations to enforce specific browser usage and could also allow Google to restrict access to their services based on browser compliance.
This practice contradicts the fundamental principles of an open and competitive digital marketplace. I strongly encourage your agency to investigate the potential impacts of Google's WEI and consider taking necessary actions.
Your proactive engagement is vital in preserving the principles that ensure a free and open web.
