    I mean, I’m not saying your phone isn’t listening to you, but this case isn’t a great example. Google didn’t take advantage of any special access to users’ devices here. They collected the same data any web browser on any device would have sent; and every other advertiser collects that same info.

    It doesn’t matter what browser you’re using. Everything Google was tracking here is the stuff all browsers send in incognito mode. This lawsuit was totally frivolous

      That wouldn’t make it frivolous, that would just mean the others should be sued too. :P
