== Addition of the COI tag
@Alexceltare2 I do not understand were you are coming from. I agree that the article is not the most NPOV ever, but the {{tl|COI}} is only meant for the cases where there has been only one specific contributor to the article and they have a clear established COI. The person listed at the top of the page has contributed to about 0.4% of the edits to the page and is hardly a major contributor. Sohom (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:Agreed. The COI tag is being misapplied in this case.-- Ponyobons mots 21:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:Regardless, this does not give you the right to remove the tag since there is a clear bias in the article. Furthermore, you have still not clarified your WP:COI situation with Google. Most, if not all the good articles out there have a Controversy section and this article is clearly omitting one, especially at a time when Google is getting a lot of flak for its anti-competitive behaviours (banning AdBlocks, IP Protection, data harvesting, Topics API...just to name a few) and a lot of users are switching browsers as a boycott. I suggest that you and the fellow readers come up with a better tag until this issue is resolved. -Alexceltare2 (talk) 21:21, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
::@Alexceltare2Feel free to use to {{tl|NPOV}} tag if you want. From my perspective, it just seems like the article is not up-to-date with the latest coverage (and so maybe the {{tl|update}} tag would be better in this scenario).
::I don't understand what needs to be clarified regarding my "COI situation". As mentioned on my userpage, 4 years ago, I recieved a stipend as part of a Google sponsored 3 month student program to make code contributions (and only code contributions) to improve ProofreadPage. I don't think that has effect on my contributions here at all. I'm literally actively agreeing that the article is not NPOV and just pointing out that your usage of the {{tl|COI}} tag was inappropriate. Sohom (talk) 21:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:::I'm satisfied with that. Alexceltare2 (talk) 00:58, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Chrome is being sold due to 'illegal monopoly'
A judge has come to order that Google will be 'forced' to sell Chrome for $20B USD, and that it may be done by August 2025. There are lots of sources confirming this, so please make sure to read, because I can not add that as it would be deemed 'unconstructive editing'. Thank you for understanding. {{find sources AFD|Google Chrome}} ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 04:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
