Chrome again exempts Google from user site data settings

Chrome may be an excellent browser, but the venn diagram overlap with malware keeps getting larger.

It's okay, they're not a monopoly according to this administration. Nothing to see here, carry on!

I feel like the obvious thing to check here is that all chrome processes have terminated between tests. If it's still running some zombie process of course the data would persist.

While I absolutely believe this, the author should include a control. Go to a different website that sets data, and show that it is deleted when Google data is not.

When you log into Google, you also log into Chrome. This means that you'll have a lot of exceptions for Google websites or else a "clear history" would log you out of Chrome.

Not justifying it (I don't use chrome) but that's likely what's happening here.

I used to search on google.ca exclusively with disabled js and cookie

Until the day it no longer works. Sad.

> all Google Search results are now opaque https://www.google.com/goto?url= garbage rather than the site URLs!

Can google justify why are they doing this? I wish google will die sooner if they start behaving like this.

I hate $THING Firefox does, and I'll complain about it, and I will use $CHROMIUM browser and not complain about that for some reason!

That is a likely case. Chrome is their closed source software unlike the Chromium browser.

Google/Alphabet is a bunch of useful good intentioned services wrapped around an nonuseful evil analytics core/monopoly. The people who work with good intentions that “just want to build cool things”, protect the monopoly and the people with bad intentions, who work to empower Google’s monopoly.

Google needs to be broken up.
