Or, better yet, read the original Vice article they're quoting:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wj7x9w/google-chrome-scans-files-on-your-windows-computer-chrome-cleanup-tool


As for the Information Liberation article, don't expect impartiality
from the author; in the article, they write about Google (emphasis added):

"This is the most dangerous company in the world and THEY'RE DOING
EVERYTHING in their power to CRUSH MY SITE and others who go against the
narrative."

Regardless of whether or not that statement may or may not be true, they
clearly have a personal stake in this.


I like the Vice article concluding that anyone that paranoid about
Google should really not be using their browser in the first place.
