They do collect data from chrome (see their privacy policy), but the point you&#x27;re making isn&#x27;t too convincing. Having people use Chrome has a number of benefits for google.. from saving money paying browsers to make google the default; to protecting Google from any anti-google moves Microsoft might make in the future using IE.<p>Without Chrome, Google&#x27;s business is very dependent on a third-party (the browser developer) who has no loyalty to Google. Long term, it&#x27;s in google&#x27;s interest to eliminate such variables in their business.
