>want to willingly diminish the impression and reputation of their web properties because that's not what happening. The average Chrome user finds that feature useful, and personally I have to agree because having a sign-in option through the browser chrome (the non-content portion of the application, bad name in this case) is significantly more sane from a security standpoint than trusting the webpage operator. why are these threads always full of performative indignation by people who know perfectly well that 99% of people aren't going to be upset | ||

> The average Chrome user finds that feature useful I don´t know about that. It displays on so many sites where I was not intending to login at all. If I want to login, I would have clicked on the websites' login button. This popup really blatantly shows that Google is everywhere, even if that was already the case. It's possible that this actually reflects badly on Google as a whole. | ||

Poor Google, they have to screw over the entire online population for their own sake. The masses love being screwed over, which is why Google uses dark patterns instead of having people make informed decisions. That this helps make Google even richer is just a happy accident. Shame on technologists who question Google's morality! Yep, that logic makes total sense. /s | ||
