I have to use chrome at work for compatibility testing, and the enshitification is only rivaled by win 11.
For instance, if you use “login with google” with a work account on a third party website, it now displays a dark pattern dialog saying you are allowing your employer to monitor 100% of your browsing activity, install crapware, download your history, bookmarks, etc.
It’s unclear if “etc” includes passwords, totp and passkeys.
Anyway, clicking cancel seems to opt out but let the authentication flow complete.
I don’t understand why people are switching to this garbage. There’s ~zero cost to switching web browsers.

There is cost. 99% of Web Devs only test on Chrome. I've been on several sites related to healthcare, engineering, govt sites, that do not work on Firefox.

Several of hundreds/thousands of sites you visit? So FF only works 99.x% of the time.

As one of the monitizable subject I am eternally indented to my trillionaire corporate overlords.
Seriously, break up Google already.

This is just measuring the speed at which chrome superficially is finished rendering and displaying content?
Actual cpu/memory performance of a given task, or some real world measure of a program's speed, efficiency, reactiveness, etc isn't indicated... I would be more interested in a Bloatscore metric!

Take a look at what the Speedometer 3 test suite includes.

I still chuckled at Bloatscore, though.
