Google is pushing some bullshit that would allow websites to check if a client (you, your browser, your device) is on the okie-dokey list. If yes, you may enter e. g. Youtube, if not the you're out. It's like a bouncer for websites and of course Google would be that bouncer. So you might stand out in the rain if you are using one of the following:

VPN
Adblock
Non-Chromium browser like Firefox

At that point they will just have the Google internet and either you're in it or you are not.

They’re trying to be the new AOL I guess.
