So your argument has nothing to do with the product itself and everything to do with “hurr Durr Google bad”.
Which is fine, and a valid opinion, but has nothing to do with the product.
I’m annoyed because 90% of the comments here imply or outright state that google will use this data for ads or other means, which has no basis in reality.
Dude, they don’t only do ads.
Google has a whole bunch of payed-for services that are never touched for ad-tracking. This is one of them.
You are implying that Google Cloud would also use ad-tracking based on customer data, which is absurd.
Please stop spreading this FUD. Just because the free services are payed for by ads does not mean that everything they do is.
So question. If google puts the tracking in chrome like they are supposedly going to do. The vpn won’t protect you (assuming you use chrome)… they don’t need to snoop on it, they already have it from another source.
No VPN ever protects you from ad-tracking. Like literally none.
That’s not what they are for.
VPNs protect you from someone intercepting your traffic on the way to the websites you want to visit.
It protects you from malicious public wifi or a malicious ISP. It does not anonymize you in any meaningful way.
It has everything to do with it. If you had money and needed to, would you buy a Porsche from a dodgy backstreet garage that had so many red flags on the way in?
Trust is everything. If I don’t trust you, why would I believe your marketing bumpf?
Why are you shilling for google in a privacy community, anyway?

It’s the basis of their entire business model???
THIS IS A PAID SERVICE.

No need to be sorry. English is not my first language. I appreciate the correction.

You sound an awful lot like an abused spouse
“Oh sure, All those other times were bad, but she swore she wont hit me this time… and she means it this time, honest!”
Terrible analogy
My man, this is nothing like an abused spouse, dubious fart
