The big deal about that was that it was added to people's libraries and couldn't be removed.
This isn't pushed in your face, and you can easily uninstall Chrome.
In a comment on another post about this the other day, I saw someone claim that they had to resort to CCleaner to remove Chrome off of their system after this update. Chrome wouldn't let them uninstall the browser manually.
Whether that's true or not, I don't know, I haven't used Chrome in a while and I'm not gonna install it just to try (or ever again - I like my ad blockers, thank you very much). But, with the current state of the software landscape, it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
Well, and it was U2.
Idk about that, you can't uninstall any of the ai bs they put on phones and computers, from microsoft to android. You can't uninstall edge on a newer computer either, not without being an IT specialist or whatever.
The U2 album could be easily removed. The issue is that the average iTunes user doesn't remove songs from their libraries, and thus had no idea the option to do so even existed and just assumed they were stuck with the album.
