Google is experimenting with direct integration for Affirm, Zip, and possibly other Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in the Chrome browser. This is the same thing Microsoft did with Edge a few years ago, and is now in Apple Pay in iOS 18. "When enabled, users will have the option to pay with buy now pay later with Affirm on specific merchant webpages.” The tech industry is increasingly embracing predatory loans. #chrome #finance #google https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/3a9e2c966aa4e06da71778b62425adeefa88a817
