Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.

"We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you're looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we'll probably opt you back in when you aren't paying attention."

Chrome is Google.

I obviously wasn't talking about Google.

Nowhere does it say they collect browsing history

Yes it does.

Do you even remember what conversation we were having?

Yeah I'm not engaging in these sort of rhetorical questions. Goodbye.

That's the sound of someone who realizes they forgot what conversation they were having and refused to admit it. That's okay, it happens to the best of us
