“Same way with Twitter/X, Tik-tok and the like. Google/Chrome? I treat that crap like being in the room with an ebola patient.
Google Chrome is a tool, not a site. It doesn’t have any content of its own.
I know it’s not a ‘site’ but you can’t tell me they don’t get/track/use one’s information and sell it off to others or use it in contracts they have with the government.
Google is a company most widely known for their search engine
Chrome(by google) is a web browser based off of the open source Chromium, a Linux project.
ChromeOS(by google) is also based off of open source software.
Google made their money by collecting data from the gazillion searches done at google.com
The google search is free which means you are the customer. Same with facebook.
Both google and facebook will track you all day across all the websites you visit, IF you’re logged in to either. That includes their subsidiary sites like google/youtube, facebook/instagram etc.

and a lot of people think of Twitter and Tik-Tok as “apps,” not “sites”
