they have 80% population using search, youtube, storing browsing history etc while logged into google account, so they have lots of data about most of the people.
- afavour 3y agoRight but that’s not a secret back door tracking mechanism. It’s a pretty blatant one! My point is that even this blatant logged in user tracking won’t be able to use user agent strings to track either.

- asddubs 3y agoyou're the one who introduced the concept of it being secret, your quote just said they have access
- afavour 3y ago> you're the one who introduced the concept of it being secret There is no publicly known method by which Google’s ad network is able to siphon extra data from Chrome users for targeting etc. If there is one, as OP’s friend suggested, definitionally it must be secret.
