It’s possible to implement parental controls without breaching the users privacy. For example, a website could have a tag saying it’s for adults only and the browser could check this fully on the client side, and parents would just need to press a checkbox in the configuration to use it. Google has enough clout to pull it off through Chrome, the fact they don’t proves that this is not about the children but a justification to collect more private data.

Google can do what it likes with Chrome, sure. What about Firefox, Edge, Safari and the others?

Edge is basically Chrome anyway, and Google proposes new web standards all the time.

Yes I know about Edge. Brave is also based on Chrome but removes all the data gathering features they don’t like, so your observation is rather meaningless. Yes, Google proposes Web standards all the time. They’ve had proposals rejected all the time as well. W3C is not a Google dictatorship. Not by a long shot.
