Google acting like they just invented Group Policy, which turns 25 this year.

I don't want Google as my anti-malware vendor thank you. The reason half these security problems exist is because Chrome is so bloated.

I am really surprised they don't have a full blown EDR/EPP solution yet. From the title I thought that would be what this is about but from the content it doesn't look like it.

It seems like it'd be a logical step, especially after their Mandiant acquisition in late 2022 (various security services/threat intelligence). Maybe they would seek to acquire this capability as well.

I think The Register articulates quite well why it’s a bad idea and honestly it’s high time we consider that ad/AI companies can’t also be browser makers.

While criticism of Google (or FAANG is valid), the issue is these type of articles is that they write these are bad ideas but never propose a viable replacement that just works. In addition, they TheRegister
