"But many of the questions related to software embedded internally in Google's Chrome browser that employees worried was designed to monitor large gatherings. The software engages when employees try to create meetings for 100 or more workers.
Pichai and others said the intent of the software is not to prevent meetings or to stifle conversation, but they acknowledged that its implementation was flawed."
If I am not mistaken Google has recently made a change to its Chrome browser (77.0.3865.105) that removed the ability to disable javascript, cookies, etc. (via chrome://settings/content or clicking to the left of the address -- "site information" -- in the address bar) for all websites when in Guest mode. It can still be disabled for individual websites.
Assuming I am not mistaken, suprisingly, I have not read anything about this change. Is it possible there was no intent to stop users from turning off javascript and cookies and this was simply another example of a "flawed implementation".
- 3xblah 7y agoOne theory is that the update is making it impossible for Chrome to save settings when in Guest Mode and chrooted in Developer Mode. Probably not intentional but frustrating because it will neither be noticed nor fixed by Google.
- 3xblah 7y agoChromeOS/Chrome gets new update and sure enough, problem is partially "fixed". Now there is a new settings page: chrome://settings/content/all These settings seems to stick, however the ability to globally turn off cookies and javascript remains broken. Also, it is so time consuming to change settings for each site, one has to wonder if this inconvenience is deliberate.
