      It would be foolish to claim that I *don't* think the web is under threat -- it very much is -- and I understand why folks without access to the same data, or who work in firms form whom the web is a legacy stack -- aren't as motivated.

      But to your implicit point: do you really think the easy way to get promoted at Google is to work on web stuff? I hope the day comes when that's true, but it hasn't been the *last* decade.

      I cannot state this clearly enough: I don't think YOU have nefarious intent, but Chrome is still a Google product that exists primarily to collect web usage data.

      Coworkers in the broader sense of Google as a business entity at an executive level, sure. Coworkers as in "the people you actually work with," no.

      I don't think you or the Chrome developers want to spy on people to sell ads. I think Google Leadership sure as shit does.

      That's literally Google's whole business model. To deny that is... I dunno, you're a smart dude.

      We (mostly) monetize search ads. If there's a conspiracy, it's the omnibox.

      Chrome also collects data on every page people visit, doesn't it?

          I thought it came out that companies like Google have so much information about people that they can (and of do) still use that information to target specific people.

          But look, man, I get it. You find the process slow and the situation dire. You feel like Chrome is using it's massive scale and power to do good and make the web better. In many ways you area. PWAs frickin' rock!
