"this is distinct from their own data collection from Google properties."

What were you saying about absolutes?

We have zero proof of what you assert.

Sure, that is what the press release may say... but you know how well that goes.

Google also insists it does not censor search results, yet we have evidence of them doing exactly that.

"We have zero proof of what you assert."

My understanding is that this is in the open source chromium project, and if that's correct we do have a way to validate the assertion.

I'm not defending Google.  Just saying that the article was misrepresenting the scope of the technology.

Slippery slopes are real.

If I were Google, I would have the browser report little, but then profile it from the homebase.

These guys are an abusive monopoly. They are probably way ahead of me here.
