Maybe the news about the Windows client changing DNS settings was too much bad publicity?
A VPN would naturally route all your traffic through a secure tunnel, but you’ve still got to do DNS lookups somewhere. A lot of VPN services also come with a DNS service, and Google is no different. The problem is that Google’s VPN app changes the Windows DNS settings of all network adapters to always use Google’s DNS, whether the VPN is on or off. Even if you change them, Google’s program will change them back.
Sometimes location services uses your Internet connection to figure out where you are. Imagine you’re deep in a corporate building. GPS wouldn’t work in there. In this case, IP-based location services to the rescue!
But jamboard was worse than all other whiteboard services. Since it did not get any new features for years it was just a matter of time it was going to be discontinued
That’s just your bubble. Most VPN users just want to circumvent geo restrictions.
Besides that, the general VPN “propaganda” is that it encrypts your traffic and no-one can see it. The average user gets baited by that and doesn’t care to look further into it.
It makes just as much sense as most popular vpns. The main difference is you know you don’t trust Google. Do you think something like nordvpn is any different? There’s no guarantee for what they’re doing either.
I actually discovered some interesting things in google play music back in the day. The play random music button actually had a few golden moments too.
Spotify just… Feeds me what I’m already listening too. The discover weekly suggestions are usually useless for me.
