I agree, they're pushing hard toward that, our only saving grace being that they still must keep it decoupled at the low level due to existing regulation. The only thing that will stop them is some pushback, but threads like these scare me that the very people who should lead that pushback and now getting complacent to it ... Whatever one might think about Chrome on desktop, fact are that 1 - people install it on purpose, because they want to, not because they're forced, and 2 - it's supremely easy to replace, which is why google tries hard to tie itself into more (password manager obviously, but chrome apps at one point). Chrome is open to competition, it's just that this competition is as much marketing and mind share as it is tech merit. What Edge and Safari are doing or trying to do is not open to competition. (this does not mean chrome should not be reigned it, I believe it should)
