I generally agree. However without ads, how do you expect poor people to have (free) access to radio, magazines (well, cheaper), antenna tv?
Poverty should be over soon. Twenty to thirty years max.
Do you still want to play with your users, Google? It's your product and your choice. Good night and good luck
Chrome is just spyware. Move on to Firefox already. At some point, Chrome was feeling faster than Firefox and some dev tooling warranted a try. But, with Firefox where it is now, seriously think why on Earth do you want to run this spyware from Google as your web browser.
I am one of whom has switched its browser because of this issue. I have seen that in the blog post, they claim Chrome will offer an option not to allow chrome sign in when you sing in on a google service. Let me describe your mentality: hey there who is aware of what they use. I have an option for you. You can turn this feature off. For the others, this will be default. Why don't you simply make this option closed as…

> But what is the user facing benefit? Syncing bookmarks, recently opened tabs, passwords, autofill(?). These are genuine benefits when you're working with laptops, desktops, phones and tablets. Whether they're worth the cost of data mining is another matter of course.
These are genuine benefits when you're working with laptops, desktops, phones and tablets. I work with all of these devices. Yet I don't want any of that syncing. The thought that Google wants to send my 'recently opened tabs' to their servers makes me shudder. So they get the whole browsing history of every one of their users? Of all the pages that have nothing to do with them? Same with passwords. So they have a gi…
So... you're happy that they're giving you the option to turn it off then, right? I mean, you appear to concede that someone users want this. You want the option to turn if off, which you're getting. That seems like good news.
Except your tone doesn't seem to match your logic.
FWIW: I use Firefox too. But... I mean come on folks. They messed up, they're fixing it. The obsession with hatred and flamage is getting a little out of control.
Too little, too late. The cat is really and truly out of the bag. As Microsoft did with Windows 10 Google have done with Chrome they have moved the capture of telemetry and personal data from their network to the users platform.

Some google websites are chrome only because of the use of some non standard plugins.
Do you have any details of which ones? I have not discovered any so far - everything seems to work just as well in Firefox (e.g. gmail, youtube, search, maps, adwords, adsense, analytics, cloud console, webmaster tools are the ones I requently use on Firefox with zero issues)
