Knee-jerk Internet commentators think any packet going anywhere is a breach of their privacy which is funny because that's sort of the point of a network. For me, this particular issue isn't about privacy, it's that these companies get to make their products better using my data and I get nothing out of it. Sort of how they train their AIs. Privacy has been popularly re-defined to be "any data." Remember when people's name, address, and phone number was published in a big yellow and white book and delivered to everyone's driveway? What we should want is compensation for the use of our non-PII data and a restriction on information about us that can be used to harm us, financial, medical, etc. to be restricted. Chrome not telling Google I went to Amazon.com would be great, but Amazon knows I went there and if I use 8.8.8.8 so does Google anyway.
