Whew - all the things I'm missing having switched to Linux a couple years ago.
First - I can't believe people still use Chrome. Second - Chrome has done shit like this for 10 years.
Homeboy here is a classic example of a frog boiling slowly. Glad he made it out.
Firefox, brave, vivldi, duckduck…all these run on chrome.
Do you mean google chrome?
No... Firefox and forks are all Gecko engine.

You're confusing "Chrome" as in Google Chrome, with the chromium engine. Vivaldi amd Brave both run on that, plus Edge.
