100% agree. I'm interested and concerned how Google will balance privacy (encryption and incognito) and controlling what we see and do

Like any business, Google monetizes their products and services. They make money through android pay transaction fees on merchants, and only merchants that support android pay are likely to be shown. This is in a way, turning Google into Amazon, where transactions are monetized. Nothing illegal about this at all, but when you're on Amazon you know you're shopping with Amazon. With Google, it feels like you're shopping "the internet" instead of a walled garden, so in a way, Google may make you feel like you're being shown everything but in reality you're only seeing their walled garden.

And thats the real shitty part about technology. I wish that we could have the technology that we have now without having to fear about data brokers and other shit stealing our data
