Thanks for the constructive comment. I am suspicious that it’s only a temporary stopgap and the feature will keep being pushed on users with increasing difficulty of opting out. For me, this is the time to move on from Chrome like it was time to move on from Windows 11 about a year ago. I am only using it out of some friction of setting up addons on a different browser, but at some point cutting the heads of the AI bloat hydra becomes the bigger hassle.

By “lost”, we mean they paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the businesses of friends and family, from the billions of dollars of corruption money that was funneled into the company as crypto “investments” from foreign criminals? Sure. Let’s keep going with the “ha-ha, Trump is such a loser, and he will die next week” narrative as he is strengthening his authoritarian grip on political power and his gross enrichment from the most blatant forms of corruption the developed world has seen.
