Suddenly, when launching Chrome, it opens with two tabs where there used to be one. One, as ever, is my had-it-forever but soon-to-die iGoogle page, but with it is another, unadorned google.com search page. I had to go into settings to disable this. It happened on my work mac and both of them here at home.
The only conclusion I can reach is that Google is trying to wean me off their deprecated web product by pushing an unrequested change into my settings on their browser product. Anyone else seeing similar? Anyone have an alternate theory?
All within their rights, probably, but how utterly fucking creepy. It’s convenient to have all my services in one place, and it’s nice that it’s “free” and all, but the real cost of ownership in the Google family is starting to give me a serious case of the icks.

I don’t know who at Google is responsible for their business decisions over the last year, but if I meet them they’re getting punched in the junk or ladyjunk.

Google also wants to know if you’re going outside the house in that shirt. The coffee stain is quite visible.
