This doesn't seem to be turning on Chrome Sync, so users aren't being forced into any privacy policy: https://twitter.com/__apf__/status/1044109898013765632 ht

  Read the actual privacy policy, not the tweet talking about it. Primary sources are always best. > The personal information that Chrome stores won't be sent to Google unless you choose to store that data in your Google Account by signing in to Chrome. That doesn't say "unless you enable sync", it says it changes "by signing in to Chrome". Since they're now forcing you to sign into chrome without your consent they are also forcing you to accept that they can send your data to their services without needing any additional permissions from you.

    Literally the next sentence after the one you quoted is: > Signing in enables Chrome’s synchronization feature. This is no longer true, so it seems most likely that that entire paragraph is simply out of date.
