More and more people are taking back their privacy. Sites using the new system will have less traffic.
I expect it's still such a tiny proportion compared to those using stock Android and iPhone that the dip in traffic won't even register for most sites. It's just an inconvenience for those of us who use privacy-focused phones for now, but it's also one more brick in the wall being built globally to lock us out of online life.
I'm still not on graphene, but even on android I'm not gonna read a QR code to pass a captcha test
One issue is that government services are increasingly online, accessible through forms that are "safeguarded" by google recaptcha.
I really hate how much of the government has been handed to corporations to run for us. From court being on zoom, to needing a Google account or Google phone just to access forms.
I had to have a medical appointment via Zoom. If I wanted help it was that or get bumped out of the system and be on my own (not an option). I didn't even need the damn appointment but it was the gateway to seeing a specialist. So yeah, medical help gated by Zoom. And worse is that when I logged in, they didn't even have the session encrypted 🤦🏻♀️
