Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don't give in to criminals or bullies

FANG isn’t really an accurate word anymore.

It’s MAAA: Meta, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon.

Didn't the N stand for Netflix?

Yes, but Netflix isn’t in the same class anymore (High growth, dominating their relevant fields, diversification). Nvidia may fit.

Netflix was (and imo, should still be) there because of their tech. Netflix was years ahead of other companies in terms of their backend engineering when the term was coined, and in many ways they still are.

They don’t employ the people who made their backend so special anymore. Not one of their original chaos engineering team work there anymore, and Brendan Gregg (Hooray for learning BCC/perf!) is over at Intel
