Or just tethering abroad with an esim data plan... Just opening chrome would deplete your quota and leave you stranded. Google you are sick!

  Surely it will wait when the connection is marked as metered.

    Nope! The Chrome updater on Windows 11 ignores the metered flag.

    A tethered connection often just looks like a normal WiFi access point to the computer.

      That's why you can mark any WiFi connection as "metered" in Windows.

    I definitely trust Google's team (and large trillion dollar companies with sufficient resources to do this) to make reasonable choices for their users... said, perhaps, someone ever? Certainly not me. (I wanted to write something far snarkier and sarcastic but getting annoyed at google is like getting annoyed at a lawnmower/Oracle. That plus HN guidelines.)
