This popped up a few times on gsuite apps while using firefox.

I hate this prompt so much
But it’s working, seeing how Chrome got almost a monopoly
Google, right now, in my country is doing an ad campaign on TV that says “chrome on iOS has integrated phishing warning on shady pages”.
Uh… Safari has that from 15+ years at least… and all browsers on iOS are all safari with a different skin
The one that hate as a sysadmin is how Microsoft Defender is always telling me to disable Chrome features such as continue running in the background, third party cookies and password manager but never recommends those actions for Edge.
I’ve never had it say anything like, what freaky settings have you enabled?
safari with a different skin
If your country is in the EU, this just changed (right?)
Yes and no because the dev would have to maintain two different browsers, one for the eu and one for the rest of the world. It would double the cost of development and testing for something that regular people won’t even notice
With updates built in :)
it really updates a lot. also it does it very sneaky. i think on windows it uses a background service running as admin. it’s rare it shows a tab that it updated. probably because they sneak stuff in like more tracking and pre downloaded google assets, so their pages load faster than the competition.
for comparison firefox sometimes prompts for admin permission to update and very often displays the “we added more bloat you will never use” tab.
Of all the selling points they have, they decided to uses “With updates built-in”? Brother every browsers nowadays have that smh
I remember when this was a huge thing back when Chrome was really new.
Other browsers always needed admin permissions to be installed and to be updated at the time. Chrome installed by-default in the user context, didn’t even ask for an installation location (which sucked 😅) and could also update without adminstrative privileges.
Of course, nowadays this is entirely normal. But while it wasn’t the the first software to do it back then, it was the first one where the average user say something being done without a popup about changed system settings.
And it will keep popping up. Enjoy the rest of your life.
Don’t use google 🤷
Unfortunately can’t get away from it at work
Same :(
I recommend using an ad blocker and then you won’t see it.
watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.
Right?
… Did chrome become IE?
Short answer: yes
And IE became edge, which is chrome. We’ve come full circle.
In other news, the brain is our most important organ, according to the brain.
One day the different parts of the body were having an argument to see which should be in charge.
The brain said “I do all the thinking so I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
The eyes said “I see everything and let the rest of you know where we are, so I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
The hands said “Without me we wouldn’t be able to pick anything up or move anything. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
The stomach said “I turn the food we eat into energy for the rest of you. Without me, we’d starve. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
The legs said “Without me we wouldn’t be able to move anywhere. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
Then the rectum said “I think I should be in charge.”
All the rest of the parts said "YOU? You don’t do anything! You’re not important! You can’t be in charge."
So the rectum closed up. After a few days, the legs were all wobbly, the stomach was all queasy, the hands were all shaky, the eyes were all watery, and the brain was all cloudy.
They all agreed that they couldn’t take any more of this and agreed to put the rectum in charge.
The moral of the story: You don’t have to be the most important to be in charge, just an asshole.
