Don't get scroogled
If someone wants to use a VPN then they clearly care about privacy, which means they definitely know about Google's business practices. In conclusion, nobody is gonna be stupid enough to use this.
I use it all the time. Not everyone is paranoid with matching tin foil hats.
VPNs can be a tool for privacy but 99% of the time someone is tricked into thinking it's antivirus by a nordvpn ad

I think this is a feature of Google One subscription. Is it free for non-subscribers?
It was recently added to Google One. I don’t think it’s free. Others in the thread have said that it was also offered on some of Google’s Phones in the past.
it's been a part of Google one 2tb for years, they recently added it to the lower plans. it's free from Pixel 7/7a/probably Fold too.
So what, they can trap more information to present you ads based on your browsing habits?
