    Who would've thought? :confused:

    It's unclear from the article, but is this data collected by default, or even if privacy features are turned on? What if you use Chrome for financial transactions (like entering an address and credit card number) but don't allow Chrome to save it. Is it still collecting that data?

    Good question. However, given the state of things these days, I would assume something is collected.

    I assume the same. The people stealing your data probably don't care about what checkboxes we checked.
