More than 200k users said NO!

More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

机翻：你可能想看看谷歌对 reCaptcha 谷歌验证码服务的新改动

机翻：这款全新的 #reCaptcha 系统将排斥除 #Android 和 #iOS 之外的所有替代性的移动操作系统，使得其他的手机操作系统无法解开 reCaptcha 验证码。如果这不是垄断行为，那我就不知道是什么。

未来，鸿蒙系统的手机和Sailfish OS系统的手机永远过不了谷歌的人机验证？？？

Google I/O 2026：反正 2026 年的科技公司发布会就是 AI 和模型发布会罢。

- Gemini 3.5 Flash 模型发布。Google 说它很强，Simon 说它很贵 [1]。有多贵？差不多是 Gemini 3.1 Pro 那么贵。
- 所谓全模态但现在是生成视频的 Gemini Omni 模型；YouTube Shorts/YouTube Create app 上可以免费用。
- WebMCP 标准发布；开发者现可使用 chrome://flags 的 enable-webmcp-testing 启用该特性，并使用 Inspector 插件基于网页提供的 MCP 与 LLM 进行对话和操作（需自带 Gemini API key）。
- Chrome DevTools for agents 发布。
- 以及大家都知道的玩意儿：Google AI 搜索、AI 图片暗水印 C2PA、
- 喔对了，Gemini CLI 会在 6/18 停止服务；Google 建议换用 Antigravity CLI。

So I suppose a new #introduction is in order. Hello! New #software engineer at #Google (first job!) in the #Seattle area. Canadian; moved from Montréal. Once infamous for making Barinsta, then promoted open source and federated platforms, now back to coding a lot. Public transport fan and avid radio listener. Silly at times; still learning about adulting. Love to #MeetUp with new people and explore new places (taking nice pictures on the way)!

我真的覺得現在越來越多網路服務需要手機驗證是一件荒唐的事情，要電話號碼就算了，還要確保你的手機是牢牢處於我們控制下的聽話環境。反詐騙？反「人類」！

新版的 #Google reCapacha可能會用QR Code取代過往的圖片驗證碼，稱作reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification，也許是為了加強防堵AI Agent爬蟲大軍的進攻。在GCP官方部落格的聲明證實了這點，他們認為這可以打造一個安全的瀏覽環境。
掃碼後，它會嘗試跟Android或iOS的Play服務溝通才放行。這個舉措會影響到 #degoogle 的用戶，比如LineageOS和GrapheneOS。強迫人一定要拿手機出來被Google追蹤才能通過驗證碼。而且要是Play Integirty要求STRONG等級的話，有Root和解鎖Bootloader的裝置就會被阻擋了。改User Agent可能也繞不過reCapacha。

reCAPTCHA 或将要求用户用其手机 App 扫码进行验证。

接受此类验证码的用户需要使用安装有 reCAPTCHA app 的 iOS/iPadOS 设备，或包含较新版本 Google Play Services 的 Android 设备。

By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: theverge.com/tech/924933/googl…).

Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no… or vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-viv…).

We've also been very outspoken about our dislike of the built-in AI trend in the browser industry, but in case there's still any doubts: yes, we disable all Gemini-related features, and we've been doing it for a while.
