Chrome Privileges Google Properties

I remember a few years back when I suggested people stop using Chrome because it had clearly decided to privilege Google properties with additional access. Now this has become obvious and accelerated. So, Google Chrome gives all *.google.com sites full access to system / tab CPU usage, GPU usage, and memory usage. It also gives access to detailed processor information, and provides a logging backchannel....

A dark-mode social media screenshot shows a post criticizing Google Chrome for giving Google-owned websites unusually extensive access to system, CPU, GPU, memory, and processor information. A quoted reply claims this surveillance and privileged access has become increasingly obvious, making the meme a sarcastic reaction to Chrome privacy concerns and Google’s control over its browser ecosystem.
