Google started out with a "don't be evil" motto when it launched its first product, Google Search. Today, Google is a different company. It has created numerous products and abandoned a lot.

Take the IP Protection "feature". They hide your IP address from individual sites while hoovering up all of the user's data into their own servers, to use for their own ends.

Privacy hasn't been enhanced, if anything it's been weakened by giving one company a log of everything done through the browser. So, it's a fucking lie
