    No. There are a whole bag of tactics to get you to enable it like “Whoops, got re-enabled in an update. Our bad.”, which has happened before, or a myriad of dark patterns. By changing the name of this at least twice now when it got backlash from users, Google has shown it doesn’t care about Chrome users’ preferences, only that it wants this to fly under the radar so that every Chrome user won’t know to disable it.

    Change to a browser that actually gives a crap about your privacy. As a bonus, changing helps reduce Google’s ability to dictate what happens to the web via Chrome’s huge user base, like the recent “Web Environment Integrity” push.

      Specifically, use Firefox (or Librewolf) and not a Chromium-based browser. Using Chromium still helps Google dictate how the web works.

        I recommend waterfox. It’s firefox without all the bullshit like pocket and shit that mozarella keeps putting into firefox.
