Nick Heer: ‘Google’s iOS App Inserts Its Own Links Into Webpages – Pixel Envy’

For Google to believe it has the right to inject itself into third-party websites is pure arrogance, yet it is nothing new for the company. It has long approached the web as its own platform over which it has control and ownership. It overlays dialogs without permission; it invented a proprietary fork of HTML and it pushed its adoption for years. It can only do these things because it has control over how people use the web.

Not a fan. Hyperlinking is an art, and this is Google splashing paint onto my canvas.
