    Indeed. I’m trying to figure out how “quietly” makes any sense in that headline. Google has been very public about what they’re doing, and has usually published their proposed actions months in advance of actually taking them.

      It probably is intended to indicate that Google’s software doesn’t have a notice anywhere it’s sending this data that a normal human could reasonably find.

      There’s a lot of ‘Data we collect’ stuff on sites and software now, and I’m entirely sure I’ve never seen this on any browser using Google’s code for this.

        This also says “chromium browsers”, so maybe people who are using some other one than actual Google Chrome have not known and/or not been told of the collection happening.
