    Bruh, I can go to cybersecurity school, study it for a lifetime, audit this service myself, find that it does anonymise and does everything right, and STILL refuse to use it, simply because this just isn’t who you get a VPN service from.

    You don’t buy your meat from the town gravekeeper, atleast not as long as there are other butchers, and especially not if the meat comes cheap.

      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.

        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?

        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!”
