I recommended you use an alternative browser like Samsung Internet, or a Chromium fork called Cromite (UI like Chrome but without Google services). They, along with Firefox, Edge etc. have ad blocker support.

After finding one you like, go into Chrome's app settings and click "Disable" in the middle, so Google Discover won't force you to open in Chrome even if it's not your default browser.

This is the actual reason. Steam officially said that: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4784-4F2B-1321-800A

This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows. In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

What is so weird about this?

That would take 2 years to upload.

I have it enabled, it's useful on giant threads.

You have to do in 3 different comments!!

There isn't an official, that's so Google can't ask them to shut it down, as they technically are not disturbing it. The "unofficial" works completely fine. It's revanced-magisk-module by j-hc.

Still, why is it a hassle?

Why is it a hassle? You can just use a pre-built one, and it's like installing any other APK.

This sounds like something BeastChild would say in a video.

Maybe if you fake your user agent it would think you're on Windows.

Did you mark this as NSFW because Amazon fucks those running Linux?

And you should also increase the interface and font size.

I kinda trust them, I don't have any important files on Drive, but I have all my photos on Google Photos, which especially with these Drive files lost news, is not a good idea. I think I will transition to Immich which I already have set up, so I, and only I have control over my data, and it's also free for 5x as more storage (because of an 1TB external hard drive)

That does not say that "personal information" refers to things you store privately on Google services. You can still turn off ad personalization anyway.

Here is a quote from Google Safety Center's ads and data section:

We never use the content you create and store in apps like Drive, Gmail, and Photos for ads purposes.

They definitely scan your photos, but definitely not to personalize ads.

Also, you can easily turn off ad personalization in your Google account.

As for building their AI system, this is also true but it's opt-in. It allows your photos to be shown to people using Crowdsource to help improve Google AI.

They've just seen this as an excuse to stop paying Nitro.

I am root.

The comment definitely didn't feel light-hearted.

Yes, you can install it with winget to make your job in the terminal easier.

I'm not mad, I just tought it was funny.
