It’s not from the browser. As stated in the article:

Initially, it was suggested that this removal impacted Google’s synched Chrome bookmarks but further research reveals that’s not the case. Instead, the removals apply to Google’s saved feature.

It’s a feature specific to the google app that lets you share collections of bookmarks:

They don’t want people sharing links to pirate sites.

It’s still bad, but saying they are going through bookmarks in chrome and deleting them is misinformation.

Would have been nice to have amended the headline to reflect the actual story.
