its not even about complete anonymity. google has zero business in when I'm logging into my utilities company account, or other semi-governmental portals!
it literally is their business; they make millions of dollars off of it.
then that's a problem we must solve. Because an adtech company should definitely not have any business in that.
it has been solved for approximately 2 billion people on this planet, but those answers are not friendly to profit-seeking institutions like google and the only remaining institutions that can stop it are captured by the likes of google
for the record, I don't believe logging in with wechat is any better, and recaptcha is present on the utilities websites of my european country leaning towards china.
