Ah, so that's why so many websites are OK with it - they probably just don't realise that it's there.

> If the courts and antitrust regulators are reading—they probably won’t read my blog, but one can dream—this is yet another example of Google advantaging its own browser Chrome over other web browsers.

And vice versa: how Google is advantaging its own SSO/data collection platform over others, through Chrome.

this is demonstrably false, I can share dozens of screenshots of this popup appearing in Chrome despite all the options checked that are supposed to disable it.

		Yeah the article mentions those, but those are inserted by Chrome, i.e. the website owner might not realise that they can prevent them from being shown themselves. But yes, I'm glad my browser doesn't add them, and that I can block them in uBO.
