Google seems to be escalating the speed of its efforts to restrict its user base to the completely non-technical, but Apple and Facebook already own that market.

It also sounds like they're promoting yet another way to make "the internet" slower, more bloated, and have greater impediments to usage.

I have never understood why Google has remained the esteemed vendor for a subset of technical users.

They lost me more than a decade ago when they hoovered clear text passwords from their wifi scanning and blamed it on a single engineer.

Well, perhaps because Chromium is the most well-hardened browser engine on the planet, for better or worse.

I might user Firefox personally, but I'll have my company use Chrome.

Other Google products (Maps, Docs, Gmail) are excellently engineered and usually ahead of their competitors in terms of reliability and feature set.

It's not hard to understand why people use Google products despite the occasional moral qualm.
