The company I work at has several environments and hundreds of VDI users in each environment. Chrome is the default browser in all of them. By my rough napkin math, this one small change by Google will eat up at least 15 terabytes of new disk space in total. (I sure hope we are using deduplication at the physical storage layer...)

It's fine. Network and disk space are free, right?

Compared to human labor it is.

Only because those who can save on the labor are not paying for the increased resource use in the first place.

Serious question: why do you use Google Chrome in the first place, when there are better alternatives, e.g. Brave (crypto stuff could be easily disabled) or Vivaldi, both with adblocker?

[tbrownaw]

Shouldn't the filesystem be set to encrypt everything before it hits the physical storage layer?

[dburkland]

Thankfully deduplication is a thing ;)

I certainly hope you don't automatically update.

Does your place review every line of every update patch note? Do you think you would catch this implication?
