Asshole Design

Nah. If you want to be outraged at Google, at least be correct.

This has to do with Google "collections", not synced bookmarks. Afaik, collections are a thing you only access on mobile through the google app, this doesn't even have anything to do with Chrome.

If you run chrome on mobile, for example, you don't have access to the collections. It's only through the google app.

Almost certain they monitor collections because they can be shared with public.

Get. Away. From. Google.

Google keeps taking L's and firefox keeps taking W's. If they keep going maybe firefox will be most used browser again

firefox doesn't do this

Are you fucking shitting me rn? I am sick of how lame this dystopian future is. Where are my neon lights and grungy underground bars? All we get in this timeline are takedown notices, corporate overreach, disappearing content and DMCA strikes.

This is misinformation. This has to do with Google collections and how it's a shared platform, so of course google is going to monitor this.

Your private bookmarks are fine. Relax.

Still, you shouldn't use Chrome or any Google products if you can help it.

People who still use Google Chrome in 2023 should not be surprised. Firefox gang stays winning

Op you're so easily fooled

Fake, as that site is brand new and has nothing on it.

I am so incredibly sick of this intrusive digital dystopia.

getfirefox.com and disable google search in your preferences. F*ck google.

People are saying this is fake, maybe that image in particular is, but I just got that email and that's annoying me so here's a pic

I'm sorry, WHAT?

Is this just chrome? Or does this affect all chromium browsers? And yes, I already use FF, but I also use Brave for when FF doesn't work.

guess i'm not using opera anymore, time for firefox.

Is this an old screenshot? The email looks like a screenshot of a screenshot, of a screenshot, etc.

what's a bookmark? i have 400 tabs

the only two things that shock me about this is

1. That it took until now for it to happen

2. that people are shocked by it.

As people have said, this is fake, but why would you keep any important data with Google anyway?

Good thing I've been using Raindrop.io to manage my bookmarks for years because I used to switch browsers so often. I've settled on Firefox for the most part, but am looking forward to Arc on Windows.

Google doing google things. Nothing to see here
