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?
This is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint that is part of the Microsoft 365 admin portal. It looks for security issues like out of date software and insecure configurations.
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
Chrome almost got a monopoly because for a time, it was legitimately better than most the competition. Now you have consumer inertia, and the things that make chrome dogshit are unfortunately not things that the average person cares out.
Of all the selling points they have, they decided to uses "With updates built-in"? Brother every browsers nowadays have that smh
Not just browsers, almost every software has it.
But they not only have updates, they also have form filling, a password manager (wink wink), sync between devices and so many more basic features that Firefox has too
What does that even mean? Is it from the future?
If you ever use SQL Server Management Studio, you can experience the opposite. Whenever there's an update, you'll get a notification in the application, but to actually install it, you need to go to Microsoft's website to download the latest version and install it yourself. Chrome, on the other hand, updates itself upon restart without requiring anything special from the user.
As a software developer, I really like that part. It means that websites I work on only need to consider the features supported in the latest version of major browsers rather than the last several (as was the case with Internet Explorer).
So, it's nice and something that I remember really appreciating when Chrome was getting popular. But it's still a weird thing to brag about.
It means every time you use Chrome you get a pop-up about restarting Chrome.
With other browsers, you need to update them from time to time. Chrome one has all the updates already built in from day one, so you never need to update it. Isn’t that great. The devs at Google are so good that they decided to do all the updates at once so they never need to worry about updates ever again.
having updates is wild
They dont even have any good arguments anymore XD
Chrome! Now with the ability to view Web pages!
Chrome now with extra spyware and not being able to block ads and trackers! For the cheap price of your data.
Me: no Google: okay proceed to broke Firefox compatibility in their products
Simply avoid using Google services! instead of Google, use Duckduckgo or Startpage, replace YouTube with Invidious, Gmail with protonmail or self-hosted mail, and the office suite with LibreOffice.
Gmail with protonmail or self-hosted mail
Or just any paid mail service.
Damn, I actually use them but uses Piped instead of Invidious and my self-hosted SearXNG for search engines
Also recommend Hyperpipe to use with piped to replace YouTube Music
Edit: Also on the phone, Collabora Office
.... Did chrome become IE?
And IE became edge, which is chrome. We've come full circle.
Short answer: yes
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.
I also recall seeing lots of installers that were infected with chrome. I guess that’s how it spread to so many computers.
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 :(
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.
the most clicked No Thanks button in my environement.
Time to use the Element Picker feature of uBlock Origin.
feel the pain of work environment where you cannot add any addons.
this is why i hate school chromebooks
They have been popping up for years on gsuite
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.
Brawndo, it's got what plants crave!
It's got updates!
I'm using Firefox so I'm already using one with all of those features, and the added benefit that it won't eat my RAM and spy on me
Using librewolf, this can go screw off
I recommend using an ad blocker and then you won't see it.
🎵We built it shitty🎵
🎵We built it shitty on spies and lies🎵
watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.
Right?
I've never seen that using windows 10 pro and firefox
