Of Chrome? I sure did. All of that information that Google has collected about me over the years without my say so has generated income for them.
If you ever used any of their services you agreed on a bunch of ToS.
Does that include all of those sites that include GA/GFonts/etc that I have zero control over? You don't have to use G/FB services to still be a money generator for them. To be a reader of this site and still not understand that, one must either be on ostrich or a new reader.
You do have control over, just don't load things from them. Google "no-script", "uBlock", etc.
Your biological and technological distinctiveness have already been absorbed by G if you seriously use the term Google in daily vernacular for search. tsk tsk. You are the borg.
Come on, it was a joke given the context of our conversation.
