counter-point, why is sending my browser history in its entirety to google even an option. When I start on a fresh install of Windows, the last thought on my mind is "man I wish my entire browser history was still here" We all know why it's there, and it's anti-consumer

If someone thinks their actions aren't tracked anywhere on the internet, they are sadly mistaking. Everyone monitors everything, so every action that someone takes on the tubes is logged somewhere. I drink the Google kool-aid because it's easy and convenient

And if there's something sensitive then that obviously goes via other means, like carrier pigeons, smoke signals, or SD cards flown via drones

Privacy is less about keeping your stuff secret, but knowing what exists about you and how someone could use that to get an edge. If you know X or Y is in the public on you, then you can use that to know when someone is trying to social engineer you. :)pic.twitter.com/TjRopNB8iG

Troubling privacy creep on the part of Google.
@__apf__ argues that Google doesn't auto-take your data to the cloud if you sign in to Gmail, but the privacy policy makes it clear that Google *can.* Respect Google's work on, e.g., certificates but this is a misstep. -
Was that before, or after today's privacy policy update?https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/

If an associate of mine drafted these revisions I’d send them back for a rewrite. For example, this portion of the new policy, in the context of the heading, suggests that sign-in and sync are the same, just a few lines after insisting they aren’t:pic.twitter.com/AY4if2lwoW

If you like the Chrome rendering engine but don't like the idea of Google services being tied in so tightly, check out

I began refusing to load Google Chrome onto my phone or regular machine a year or more ago when it was clear they were heading in this direction and violating lots of other privacy related red lines.

I respect
@Google and I see the convenience element in the change they've introduced. BUT, I still think their solution is poor. Yes, the data won't sync until authorized but policies change all the time. Before, users had control/power through their credentials. Now they do not.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

What is there to say? Google Chrome is by no means a neutral browser, it is meant to provide Google services with an advantage. The current change is merely one of many. Once I realized that seven years ago, I never considered switching to it any more. https://adblockplus.org/blog/google-chrome-and-pre-installed-web-apps …

I'd like a study on how many general users actually care about privacy as much as these privacy advocates (and experts) seem to think everyone *should* care.

No discussion needed. I threw Chrome in the bin over a year ago.

My Gmail account is my Google account is my Chrome account. Under nominal use cases I appreciate having them linked. When necessary, I can open an Incognito browser window.
