  Both. It will prevent other sites from seeing some of your data, while giving Google more of your data. Of course Google wants to do this, it gives them a competitive edge. Smells like brewing lawsuits, though.

    Using one dominant position (Chrome market share) to extend into another (data brokerage) is textbook Monopoly 101.

      Google also operates in the EU. They’ll probably get a slap on the wrist in the end, but first there will be a widely publicized lawsuit.
