Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

    Another user said the older version of the app works without an account… but you need an internet connect, so that could “turn off” at any moment. This level of enshittification should be illegal.

      That was me. FYI, the prior version of the app works without an internet connection. I just tried it and had no problem.

      It’s only the current version that needs internet and for that only so it can force you to sign in.

      You will assuredly want to disable automatic updates on the app, however, to keep it from updating again behind your back. And it’s still a buggy piece of shit in either incarnation.
