Pardon, but some people want to eat shit and watch others do it. Some people still use facebook. I don't judge them. But won't be happy if they showed up and told me that i must do it as well.

And those features being what exactly? A small chat window drop-out so your lazy ass won't need to open an ai chat in a tab? This is absurd.

At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality

lmao. That's how we got Windows as enshittified as it is now.
