    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.

        Yeah, I’m entirely sure it’s upstream of Chrome proper, and kinda consolidates my opinion that anything Google is near should be treated as suspect.

          I would hope Google free Chromium doesn’t but who knows.
