I installed Google Chrome on my Ubuntu-22.04 system from Google's PPA.  I discovered that it created a cron.daily job that runs a script it owns.  (/etc/cron.daily now contains a symlink to /opt/google/chrome/cron/google-chrome.)   Since I find this kind of behind-ones-back thing unacceptable (a euphemism), I removed the link from /etc/daily.cron/.  The next day it was back.  Does anyone know with what or how Google is replacing the cron job?  Is my PC now Pwned by Google?
