Indeed we must... and 15+ years ago, the internet/WWW and browsers were generally designing things to make it easy possible for everyone to "do that which suits us." Somehow, advertisers and governments and important tools like Google, using exotic programming, saw all the 'virtues' in controlling as much of the operational aspects as possible, while 'giving' us shiny toys.

   I am daily grateful for Google and wide access to music ...etc. I just wish there were not so many strings being pulled in the background.

Cutting strings has become a sort of hobby. ☺
