Unfortunately, we will all happily accept this. Because using Chrome is "convenient". People will accept anything for convenience — WhatsApp is a good example, where millions of people worldwide happily share and sync their entire phone book with Facebook/Meta.

If you care, stop using Chrome. If you criticize this evil move, but continue using Chrome, you are part of the problem.

Meta use your social connections to create advertising profiles of your friends whether they're on FB or not.

Your social graph is more accessible to other 'actors' than it would be if it weren't on Meta.

You may not care about this kind of thing, but I do. Unfortunately I'm not entirely free of it either, so any finger wagging on my part is at least partially hypocritical.
