"people have casted more than 38 million times from
Chrome, watching and listening to more than 50 million
hours of content."
So Google is monitoring your watching habits. What other information do they collect as part of this? Are these details documented in a privacy policy somewhere?
The setting chrome://flags/#disable-cast-streaming-hw-encoding only appears to toggle hardware encoding or not. Can it be disabled altogether?

- andrewguenther 10y agoThere is a "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google" checkbox right in the settings. It even asks you during the install. Just uncheck the box to disable. They also recorded this data as part of the Chrome extension, not natively.
