And it’s been that way since the beginning basically and is a lot more upfront about what it does and doesn’t protect against than other browsers like Safari.
The new language just makes it even clearer it applies to Google’s online services and I don’t see that as a bad change though.

Have you seen when people cry when Netflix removes beloved content for them?
Pathetic.
I remember interviews with the development team about it. As far as I know they were always clear what was happening on the back end.
Do they literally have anything else?
Every time I’ve read the disclaimer it has been very clear and accurate, but don’t let me cloud the issue with facts.
