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 https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/3a9e2c966aa4e06da71778b62425adeefa88a817

    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?

    Soon the predatory loan industry will just be the loan industry because poor people won’t be able to afford food without one.
