Switching away from Chrome is something that is always worth repeating, but just FYI this happened last September and isn't "new". If you're on Chrome and are only just now realizing this, it's been your reality for the last 5 months.

The scary part is presenting it as a fucking privacy feature with no consequences.

Yeah Google has cleverly re-defined privacy as "give all your data to us and we will protect it from prying eyes".

People love it though. So private and easy and awesome for scrolling.
