>That’s quite a long list of competitive advantages!

Calling this list a list of "competitive advantages" seems about as accurate as calling them "dark patterns".

The only competitive advantages I see in your list is the fact that they get to use both advertisement data and search data, so they can better manipulate you into buying things.

The rest is either stuff that is on every browser, isn't an advantage, or isn't specific to Chrome.

The native support for logging in to Google services is unique to Chrome. This should either be expanded to support other identity providers, or (preferably) removed entirely from the browser.
