Interesting, so would Safari prevent this? I tried moving to Safari and honestly loved everything except I use my google accounts now for authenticating with to many services and that was a pain compared to chrome.

Even better! Moving to firefox fixes this.

Chrome for some reason (still!) gives extensions static ids. Firefox has the id change per firefox instance.

Seems to only happen Chrome per the dev of Wipr (a great safari privacy extension) https://mas.to/@mipstian/116341745221356805
I would imagine using any non-Chromium browser would cause it to fail to find any Chrome extensions, yes.
Sure, but Safari may or may not leak Safari extension signals in a similar fashion. I haven't actually investigated.
Well if you’re a logged in to Google don’t you just SSO everywhere?
I honestly kind of forget the exact annoyances because it has been some time. I want to say I had to reauth every time I wanted to SSO with my google account because it doesn't allow/deletes third party cookies.
Yeah it's something like this. I have multiple Google accounts and am somehow always logged into the wrong one.
