- falcolas 10y agoThat those are different controls says a lot about how Google feels about making it possible to opt out of all their tracking. That said, since there were some controls disabled, and some enabled, I'm more inclined to believe that they were re-enabled, if not automatically, then via some dark pattern. It's also possible that they were just new tracking points, but one of them was my search history, which I recall explicitly disabling.
- SquareWheel 10y agoI think new controls are part of it, but they've also redesigned the account manager to brings all your settings (privacy and otherwise) under one roof. I noticed it when they started pushing the privacy check-up feature.
- rtpg 10y agoI think that not wanting personalised ads but wanting Google Now's feature is a pretty reasonable and self consistent position....
