We also need Google to stop showing annoying pop-ups every time someone goes to their homepage, Gmail, or any other site they own. They also need to stop promoting users on mobile to open links in Chrome, when the user doesn’t even have Chrome installed, and has chosen the “default browser” option 100 times already.

I’m so fed up with these nudges.

    And most importantly these are anti-competitive. They are using Google's other markets to give them an unfair marketing advantage that other browsers do not have. Neither Firefox, Brave or anyone else can have these prompts on Android, Google Search. They are using an unfair advantage to take over the market against the common good.

Webmasters who make their money on ads seem like the group least likely to do this.

Better yet, include some piece of code in your webpage that is dynamically loaded from e.g. EFF.org or mozilla.org.

That way, you give these organizations the power to nuke Chrome, one day.

This can also be seen as a kind of mutually assured destruction approach, to keep Google in check.
