Does this only happen on chrome? Can you just bypass it by using another browser like firefox?
No, I think.
As I understand it, it's a separate system, kind of like the TOTP 2FA, for comparison, but in this case it would be an additional system, and where normally anyone can use any provider for TOTP, this one is Google only. If websites implement this, and many likely will, you can only use those sites if you have a Google permitted phone that leeches all your private data 24/7
Isn't the future awesome?
It's time for a class action lawsuit.

I don't know how widespread this is yet, but I experienced it for the first time yesterday on Chromium. Have not on Librefox.
I didn't know what was going on, so I left the site. Was only trying Chromium because the site had issues with Librefox.
