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.

WhatsApp and Chrome is apples and oranges - not using WhatsApp comes at a social cost (especially in countries like Germany and India where almost everyone uses it) because you can no longer communicate with other WhatsApp users or participate in group chats.

Not using Chrome comes with zero cost - you can use the same websites everyone else is using, just use Firefox.

Not quite. Increasingly, as Chrome became popular, you get websites that "work better in Chrome". Or do not work at all in other browsers. And you hear recommendations to "just use Chrome", so that things work. It's just more convenient all around.
