To be honest, it seems like a good idea security-wise.


*I will never trust google to not be somehow spying on us.


That is indeed their business model, yes.

Anything
produced by google/amazon/facebook that is supposed to be protecting us,
even if it is legitimate, is always going to be just a disingenuous sop


I don't think that's correct though.

Yes, Google's business model is "gather as much data as possible on
everyone on this planet". They do not care about your privacy; they'd
rather you didn't either (indeed, that is why I don't use many of their
products, though I do need the phone).

However, they *do* genuinely care about computer security. This site
isolation feature of theirs is something that I think is a good idea in
the face of spectre and meltdown (and friends), and I hope that other
browsers will follow suit (I suspect firefox will, not so sure about others)

That doesn't mean I'll use chrome, though
