Re-read the article. It's not remotely like Firefox.

The point is that Chrome without any authorization from the user, nor notification to the user, is going to utilize 4GB worth of bandwidth as well as disk space. It is dishonest and a bad practice.

You can't turn it off in settings, you have to set flags to turn it off. This disqualifies normal everyday users from knowing how or why this is happening.

Your comments are disingenuous and seems like you're just here to be a Google and "AI" apologist.

This behavior by Google is gross, and any company or person that thinks it's acceptable is equally gross. The author thoughtfully cites pieces of the GDPR and other acceptable computing policies and laws which this behavior contravenes. They also discuss the environmental impacts of this behavior.

Apparently y'all haven't heard of 100searchengines.com

If you haven't check it before now, you're welcome for bringing you back to results that actually show you things you're looking for instead of complete garbage. Enjoy.

The financial decision part is regarding search ads with Startpage. Again, read the article.
