From what I understand, usage stats are anonymized, and you can opt out of telemetry. But as I personally move to more hardened and private ways to connect, I'm moving to LibreWolf to err on the side of caution.

It all feels like flying too close to the sun for my taste. I don't like the idea of normalizing policies that aren't cut and dry and easy to understand. Have a legal version and a version for dumb people like me if needed, but don't expect me to play lawyer and connect the dots.

Yes, you can opt out, you simply send an request with your data to Alphabet INC.
