I stopped using Chrome when they started doing the "logged in to Chrome" thing for all Google services. It seemed likely a creepy step in a vaguely defined, unknown direction. The signal seems stronger now.
- NaomiLehman 1y agoyou don't need to be logged in atm, AFAIK
- dns_snek 1y agoI believe they're talking about the mechanism where logging into Chrome automatically signs you into many of Google's services across the web.
- worldsavior 1y agoWhat's wrong with that? That's the purpose of logging into chrome.
- mort96 1y agoFor me, the purpose of logging in to my Mozilla account in Firefox is to sync saved passwords and tabs between devices. If I was a Chrome user, I would want to log in to Chrome for the same reason.
- verytrivial 1y agoThe problem for me is the fusing of the browser with a preferred 'platform' of services. I don't want a partisan browser.
- hooverd 1y agoChrome is a browser, not your Google account?
- dns_snek 1y agoThe purpose of logging into a browser has always been to synchronize bookmarks, settings, and extensions.
- xandrius 1y agoLeft when they disabled uBlock Origin. I was 60% Chrome and 40% Firefox, now I'm 99% Firefox and 1% Chromium.
- nicce 1y agoGoogle's AI Studio does not always seem to work well in Firefox. That is my only usage on Chrome. On top of some web application testing.
- freedomben 1y agoSame. The removal of manifest V2 was one of the worst and most user hostile moves in a long time IMHO. Though the impending blocking of side loading and other locking down of Android stands to rival if not exceed it. Really dark times for Google
