Chrome used to be neutral with respect to Google sites. Now that Google sites can make changes to browser state that other sites can't, and set cookies that are exempt from clearing, the neutrality is gone. With Chrome's/Google's majority market shares, this is worthy of concern.

Examples of Chrome's past neutrality: Any site can use QUIC and benefit from same speedup as Google. When Chrome pinned Google's public keys, they let other sites pin too. Then they introduced HPKP to further democratize it. When they killed pinning, they removed Google's pins

There are examples in the replies of Chrome not always being so neutral, although they have since corrected them. Hopefully they will do the same with the new auto-login feature, though it's unclear what that would look like, given how Google-specific it is.
