While Chrome proves to be a safe web browser, its privacy record is questionable. Google actually collects a disturbingly large amount of data from its users including location, search history and site visits. Google makes its case for data collection saying it’s doing it to improve its services – like helping you find a sweater or a coffee shop like the one you previously bought or visited. However, others might disagree, making the point that Google is actually gathering an unprecedented amount of data for its own marketing purposes. They tout that they’re keeping your information private from hackers, but that’s beside the point. Google itself runs the world’s largest advertising network, thanks in large part to data they harvest from their users.
虽然 Chrome 被证明是安全的网络浏览器，但其隐私记录却值得怀疑。 Google 实际上从其用户那里收集了大量令人不安的数据，包括位置、搜索历史和访问记录。 Google 称其数据收集的理由是说，它这样做是为了改善其服务，如帮助您找到一件毛衣或一家咖啡店，就像你以前购买过或光顾过的那家一样。不过，也有人可能不同意这一说法，认为 Google 实际上是在为自己的营销目的收集史无前例的大量数据。它们吹嘘说保护您的信息免遭黑客窃取，但那不是重点。Google 本身经营着世界上最大的广告网络，这在很大程度上要归功于它们从用户那里获取的数据。
