I remember a time when Google used to crank out a seemingly endless stream of stuff that basically were tremendous improvements to the internet.
Chrome itself was one of those amazing improvements.
These days are long gone it seems.
As a matter of fact, the exact opposite seems to be happening right now: every change coming out of a Google seems to improve their lot at the detriment of everyone else, especially their users.
The time to ditch Chrome was ~5 years ago, but if you aren't convinced yet, this latest "improvement" should be the straw that breaks the donkey's back.
