Google is experimenting with direct integration for Affirm, Zip, and possibly other Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in the Chrome browser. This is the same thing Microsoft did with Edge a few years ago, and is now in Apple Pay in iOS 18.
"When enabled, users will have the option to pay with buy now pay later with Affirm on specific merchant webpages.”
The tech industry is increasingly embracing predatory loans. #chrome #finance #google

Can’t wait for all the people that are moaning about Firefox integrating AI to provide parity with every other major browser to have that same energy and lambast Google for trying to fuck over poor people with their market dominance.
Also for the record, Sundar Pichai is an idiot, how does this ever end well?

I don’t think the people complaining about Firefox’s AI integration are using or paying attention to Chrome.
Which makes them even less of an authority.
