As has been said so many times on HN, individual users of Google resources are not the customer, they are the product. Browser defaults are an annoying way that Google exerts pressure on everyone to be their product, but I'm more annoyed by their stupid Captcha API integrated into many pages Google has no business monitoring.

I feel harmed every day being coerced to be an unwilling and unhappy product of Google's adtech leviathan. I don't know what that means for this particular case, but hopefully Google gets the message and builds a better off-ramp.

You are harmed. The question now is how to obtain remedy for that objective harm and injunction against further actual harms.
