Hopefully nobody here is still using chrome on personal machines, but good to know

Google’s launch of this trial—without notice to the individuals who will be part of the test, much less their consent—is a concrete breach of user trust in service of a technology that should not exist.

I would like to add that this is added to chomium browsers too unless the maintainers of the browser stop it and also added to websites unless the websites opt out :(

I agree with samuraikid, it looks okay but is kinda shaky, with having injected third party sponsors into the search suggestions and also integrates with block chain wallets. Sure it focusses on privacy but not quite as well as fire fox and others. Get another non chromium browser is my advice.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was using LibreWolf before I guess I will go back...

I've seen a lot of bullshit "I don't agree with the views of the creator, so you shouldn't use it", but this is actual criticism, thanks!
