It is true, and I've seen it myself. At first I refused to believe, but sadly we're already at that state.

You can't just fork a browser engine. You need a lot of resources to keep one alive. The only browser engine that I know of which was successfully forked was goanna. And that's a gecko fork from when it wasn't even multithreaded, and it still took years.
So, it depends on google
Brave is google
Usually autocorrect accuracy is directly proportional to info stealing by the keyboard. Google's autocorrect is so good because it's constantly phoning home with what people write so they can improve their model.
I use a keyboard with no autocorrect (Unexpected Keyboard), and, although it took a while to get used to it, I got used to typing fast and mostly accurately after some time using it. You can also get used to your autocorrect's quirks, and you'll find that you will type faster with it.
Brave is chrome
Vivaldi is google
I'm surprised nobody mentioned "All I Want For Christmas Is You" yet
Protests are not made for other people to join, protests are made to show the government/ruling class that the workers are angry and how much harm they could do to their business. People joining in and becoming interested in the fight is a nice side effect.
Can you elaborate a bit more? I don't seem to understand what you mean.
Protests are only good if they're annoying. They're meant to be annoying. They're meant to make other people notice, to stop traffic, to cause delays and ideally an economic hit to the city. If nobody felt the protest, how do you expect it to have an effect?
