+1. I also think that if there was an option to turn off Google things in Chrome flags, it would work.

Some of the features of ungoogled chromium (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium?tab=readme-ov-file#feature-overview) might be good to enable for all.

Specifically (copied from the Ungoogled chromium repo):

  • Disable functionality specific to Google domains (e.g. Google Host Detector, Google URL Tracker, Google Cloud Messaging, Google Hotwording, etc.) This includes disabling Safe Browsing. Consult the FAQ for the rationale.
  • Disable automatic formatting of URLs in Omnibox (e.g. stripping http://, hiding certain parameters)
  • Disable intranet redirect detector (extraneous DNS requests. This breaks captive portal detection, but captive portals still work.)
  • (Iridium Browser feature change) Prevent URLs with the trk: scheme from connecting to the Internet Also prevents any URLs with the top-level domain qjz9zk (as used in domain substitution) from attempting a connection.

We don't plan to do this, plus Thorium already has some patches from ungoogled-chromium
