Google did it again.

      Updates generally don’t require settings resets. It can happen if there’s major changes but that’s the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don’t know if they do, I haven’t really touched Chrome in ten? years) that’s either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

        Fair enough. I stopped using it ages ago, and was abhorred to find out chrome logs you in on the browser when you log in to Google at any point. Any browser that silently insists on knowing your identity as you browse the Web deserves zero trust.

        Thank firefox for containers.

      Chrome updates itself about once every five - six days on my system

      Firefox updates once about every two weeks and often just once a month.

      Everytime I run a manual update, Chrome is always on the list.
