Safari has it's issues but Chrome isn't the pinnacle anymore, it's clear an enshitification is happening from the team who works on the wrapper UI.

- Dark patterns to trick you into Google Pay

- Those stupid sign in with your Google account dialogs you can't disable and make the website input glitch in weird ways, steal focus and I don't think they can even be dismissed with esc.

- The "Lens" sidebar

- Bimonthly popups about "themes" and "Ad Topics" dark patterns

- Copying console.logs is now broken in weird ways as of a few updates ago

Chrome is worth a separate investigation from the EU and others. Chrome is massively layer breaching with Google Service. There is a reason why chrome comes as Chrome and as Edge. Because both companies add stuff which no one wants there on top while cooperating on the thing we really want (the HTML, JS, engine).

I should really find a fork which is focused on not adding on top.
