Wait, you're not a Google fan anymore because you have to use Google in order to use a Google service? You're complaining that you have to use Chrome in order to use a Chrome add-on? And that you have to use Google+ in order to get Google+ notifications? You can add Google+ pages to your circles without this add-on; you don't like Google anymore because they're offering the ease of doing this in a single click in a particular browser, but you have to send them some data? If the content you're interested in is only available through Google+, that's not Google's fault. Complain instead to the website owner who decided to have content on their Google+ page.
