Sometimes the internet is really funny - or scary.
The Chrome browser is one example.
While you believe you are browsing the web, Google is browsing you instead.

in reply to Tuta • • •IMHO somewhat despicable to put the comic in the name of Scott McCloud, and even more to put words in his mouth. After all, he just did a gig nigh 20 years ago where he drew the developers saying stuff. It wasn't like he developed Chrome before or since.
Particularly nasty as Elliott takes the "Hi, I'm McCloud" -phrase from McCloud's howto-books, not from the Google-work.
The "McCloud" in the contra chrome-comic is Ben Goodger, who actually DID work on Chrome until 2024.

generally speaking, i'm worried about android, and what direction it goes.
i have this rhetorical question:
will android start showing ads in the screen !?
sidenote: iphones collect data like any others, and users do not have control over it.
