Breathless reporting about impossibilities should be reconsidered. It’s not impossible to uninstall chrome and re-install it under a different path, and create an alternate OS user account on the same laptop or desktop, and log into that to effectively reset Chrome to its default state in a non-disruptive manner. The unfortunate fact, however is that most people simply won’t do that because it’s too inconvenient, or users of a particular machine have been subjugated by system administrator overlords, as part of an organizational policy, and lack admin privileges to migrate to a fresh user account in part or in whole. People also often tend to use the admin account unhygienically. Which is not actually much of a sin, as long as you enter into those activities with the mindset of anticipating a full reinstall at the operating system level. ...which of course won’t even kill the firmware implants that advanced persistent threats have dropped into your peripherals, via intel extensions commissioned by the NSA.
