This is worrying given that Google cripples the browser and web standards to favor its own search engine and advertising platform.
Killed the semantic web and semantic markup? Check.
Disabled APIs for blocking ads? Check.
Use Google.com as the default search? Yep.
Embrace and extend the web with AMP and instant apps? Bingo.
Auto log into your Google session or nag until users permit it? Absolutely.
Trying to destroy the notion of a URL? I thought those were cool.
Google is destroying the web and is about as anti-competitive as they come.
Based on what evidence?
> Disabled APIs for blocking ads? Check
They didn't. uBlock Origin and adblocker extensions never stopped working.
> Use Google.com as the default search? Yep.
What do you think Edge does here? Easily changed via policies.
> Auto log into your Google session or nag until users permit it? Absolutely
Doesn't nag you and easily disabled in settings or via policy.
> Trying to destroy the notion of a URL? I thought those were cool.
I only get a little frustrated on Android, but just have to remember to hit the edit icon if I want to change it.

That was probably this issue in the chromium tracker https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=896897...
I don't know what happened after that though; the conclusion of that issue (in Jan 2019) was "these changes are draft, and still being discussed".
