The company I work at has several environments and hundreds of VDI users in each environment. Chrome is the default browser in all of them. By my rough napkin math, this one small change by Google will eat up at least 15 terabytes of new disk space in total. (I sure hope we are using deduplication at the physical storage layer...)

It's fine. Network and disk space are free, right?

Shouldn't the filesystem be set to encrypt everything before it hits the physical storage layer?

Thankfully deduplication is a thing ;)

I certainly hope you don't automatically update.
