    Then just don’t use it? Just copy the link from the url bar, the link is not even unique and it’s the same for everyone and other than that you can delete the link so i don’t see the problem, is really that wrong for a browser that risk to be oppressed by the chrorium monopoly to advertise itself? It’s not even invasive…
