This popped up a few times on gsuite apps while using firefox.

They dont even have any good arguments anymore XD
Chrome! Now with the ability to view Web pages!
Chrome now with extra spyware and not being able to block ads and trackers! For the cheap price of your data.
They have been popping up for years on gsuite
I hate this prompt so much
But it’s working, seeing how Chrome got almost a monopoly
Google, right now, in my country is doing an ad campaign on TV that says “chrome on iOS has integrated phishing warning on shady pages”.
Uh… Safari has that from 15+ years at least… and all browsers on iOS are all safari with a different skin
The one that hate as a sysadmin is how Microsoft Defender is always telling me to disable Chrome features such as continue running in the background, third party cookies and password manager but never recommends those actions for Edge.
I’ve never had it say anything like, what freaky settings have you enabled?
safari with a different skin
If your country is in the EU, this just changed (right?)
Yes and no because the dev would have to maintain two different browsers, one for the eu and one for the rest of the world. It would double the cost of development and testing for something that regular people won’t even notice
Me: no Google: okay proceed to broke Firefox compatibility in their products
Simply avoid using Google services! instead of Google, use Duckduckgo or Startpage, replace YouTube with Invidious, Gmail with protonmail or self-hosted mail, and the office suite with LibreOffice.
Damn, I actually use them but uses Piped instead of Invidious and my self-hosted SearXNG for search engines
Also recommend Hyperpipe to use with piped to replace YouTube Music
Edit: Also on the phone, Collabora Office
Gmail with protonmail or self-hosted mail
Or just any paid mail service.

Brawndo, it’s got what plants crave!
It’s got updates!
I recommend using an ad blocker and then you won’t see it.
… Did chrome become IE?
Short answer: yes
And IE became edge, which is chrome. We’ve come full circle.
And it will keep popping up. Enjoy the rest of your life.
Don’t use google 🤷
Unfortunately can’t get away from it at work
Same :(
With updates built in :)
it really updates a lot. also it does it very sneaky. i think on windows it uses a background service running as admin. it’s rare it shows a tab that it updated. probably because they sneak stuff in like more tracking and pre downloaded google assets, so their pages load faster than the competition.
for comparison firefox sometimes prompts for admin permission to update and very often displays the “we added more bloat you will never use” tab.
watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.
Right?
Using librewolf, this can go screw off
I remember when this was a huge thing back when Chrome was really new.
Other browsers always needed admin permissions to be installed and to be updated at the time. Chrome installed by-default in the user context, didn’t even ask for an installation location (which sucked 😅) and could also update without adminstrative privileges.
Of course, nowadays this is entirely normal. But while it wasn’t the the first software to do it back then, it was the first one where the average user say something being done without a popup about changed system settings.
the most clicked No Thanks button in my environement.
Time to use the Element Picker feature of uBlock Origin.
feel the pain of work environment where you cannot add any addons.
I’m using Firefox so I’m already using one with all of those features, and the added benefit that it won’t eat my RAM and spy on me
