That’s like one of the top reasons people use a consumer grade VPN.
- tssva 2y agoThe Google One VPN was never meant to compete with the likes of Mullvad or PIA. It was more along the line of Cloudflare’s Warp or Apple’s Private Relay.
- surajrmal 2y agoRight, but it wasn't the feature Google was offering. They were offering privacy.
- ndriscoll 2y agoThem being the largest surveillance organization in the world makes that a bit of a tricky value prop.
- FerretFred 2y agoLOL....
- lowkey 2y agoPrivacy, just not privacy from Google, kind of like browsing in incognito.
- dudus 2y agoThe top reason in this case is not the right reason. I think it is reasonable to offer a product that only tries to tackle the security side of vpn market. For what is worth Google consumer VPN is not dead and lives on as a feature for pixel phones.
