I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I'm very sure there is even more data they have.

Just imagine what Microsoft and Apple are getting thru telemetry

You do realize that Google is far worse than Apple and Microsoft combined right?

Doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft and Apple's market share on PC which is what I was thinking of.

Besides, it wasn't like I was saying Google's mobile telemetry is less invasive on Android, where they compete with Apple for being as creepy as possible. IIRC windows phones haven't taken off
