Squarespace to take over Google's domain registration business

Google is ditching their domain registration business and selling it to Squarespace. This impacts more people than I realised as many domains were sold alongside Google Workspace accounts. Starting in the third quarter of 2023, those domain names will have Squarespace as the registrar and that's where you go to manage them (i.e: setting your name servers and perhaps some DNS settings like A, CNAME and MX records too). Just another piece of evidence that demonstrates how Google is thoroughly uninterested in any business that doesn't directly relate to selling ads. I fear for Google Photos, one of my favourite Google products, as it doesn't appear to have any ads involved like say, Google Maps (the best Google product) which is full of ads.
