Google Crimes (opens in new tab)

There’s a beautiful irony that this site is littered with Google Ads (and more clickjacking than a porn site)

The site[1] claims that every time you log into a Google property, like Gmail for example, Chrome will automatically sign the browser into your Google account for you, and that means that Google Chrome can track everything you do.

Does every Hacker News Chrome user know this? Are you OK with it?

Do the millions of non-technical Chrome users know this? Would they be OK with it if they knew?

As far as I know, Firefox doesn't do this. At least I hope so.

Crimes is a hefty word here. I would go with "Transgressions" to take it more seriously. Or "User Hostililty".

add to this list locking people out of gmail if they're not using chrome. every single time with firefox I either get some kind of "can't verify identity" or "browser not trusted" message even with latest updates
