I just tried it now on google.com, and it sent it in 6 requests. You can ctrl+f in developer tools in Chrome.

- dessant 7y agoI think extensions can filter out the x-client-data header, though Google should definitely make this data collection opt-in. GDPR is very clear about this data being personal information [1], since Google has access to the IP address on the receiving end, which has been repeatedly tested in courts as being personal data. Google is engaging in personal data harvesting without user consent and control, and no amount of mental gymnastics presented in their privacy whitepaper [2] will save them in courts.

- dmtroyer 7y agoOh interesting, it must be an extension that is filtering it out for me (Ghostery, DDG Privacy Essentials or Adblock Plus in my case)
- GrayShade 7y agoCan you also test under the incognito mode?
- sunnyque 7y agoi've checked this already, chrome doesn't send this header in incognito mode, and this is really good
