Me too. Found out you can reenable it in the extension settings.

#7I don't care that Google, Apple or Microsoft have their own browser.
Especially not when there are other third party browsers. Wouldn't say no to a government funded one that was secure and tested with government services.
There are some issues with the big tech giants that is likely harmful to consumers and the industry, and I'd welcome anti-trust investigations into all of them, but I feel like minor issues like browsers is an attempt to pretend like meaningful regulation and government control has been applied, while the real problems are ignored.

#8Regardless of what happens to Chrome per se it's who is involved with pushing for major controversial changes in Chromium that matters.
Manifest v3 and Web Integrity API are prominent examples of Google's team shaping how all Chromium based browsers will be, regardless of pushback (though they relented with the latter for now).
