The answer to your query is: Yes, we do track that. We track your location even when location is off (using WiFi triangulation and "environmental signals"), your voice even when the microphone is supposedly off, and your browsing history even in Incognito Mode™ — which is now the subject of a $5 billion class-action settlement we paid without admitting wrongdoing.

Google criticism — Wikipedia

Updated 3 hours ago · Google has faced extensive criticism over privacy violations, anticompetitive behavior, tax avoidance in 23 countries, labor disputes, algorithmic bias, and the quiet removal of "Don't Be Evil" from its code of conduct. The company controls 92% of search, 65% of browsers, 71% of mobile OS, and 100% of the ambient anxiety felt by antitrust regulators.

Google found to be an illegal monopoly — The Verge

🖥️ Chrome Browser — Performance Optimizer™

Chrome uses just a tiny bit of your computer's memory. Probably fine.

Your RAM →

tabs open (try to keep it under 400)

💡 Chrome tip: Each tab uses approximately 350MB of RAM. Your background extensions add another 1.2GB. The "Tab Discard" feature is disabled by default. The option to enable it is buried in chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding behind 4 warning dialogs. This is by design.

15GB of "free" storage — shared across Gmail, Drive, and Photos because that seemed fair.

Visit killedbygoogle.com for the full memorial.

Used by millions. Died anyway.

R.I.P.

📺

Google Stadia

2019 – 2023

"The future of gaming." Lasted 3 years. Users bought games they can no longer access.

Had 1 billion users. Killed for Meet.

R.I.P.

💬

Google Hangouts

2013 – 2022

Replaced by Chat, Meet, Duo, and three other products that will also be killed.

Beloved email client. Obviously killed.

R.I.P.

📬

Google Inbox

2014 – 2019

The best email client Google ever made. Shut down to "focus on Gmail." Gmail still bad.

Like Slack, but worse, and dead.

R.I.P.

🌊

Google Wave

2009 – 2010

Revolutionary. Killed after 1 year. Half the ideas ended up in Slack and Notion.

Actually good reader. Killed to punish RSS.

R.I.P.

📰

Google Reader

2005 – 2013

Millions of daily users. Killed to "focus on social." Google+ died 6 years later.

Nobody learned from this.

R.I.P.

➕

Google+

2011 – 2019

Mandatory Gmail integration. Data breach. Quietly buried. Employees relieved.

Ahead of its time. Killed on schedule.

R.I.P.

🕶️

Google Glass

2013 – 2015

$1,500 and everyone at a bar hated you. Replaced by ambient surveillance in your phone.

Great messaging app. Killed for Chat.

R.I.P.

💭

Google Allo

2016 – 2019

Smart AI messaging. Killed 2 years after launch. The AI lived on. The app, rest in peace.

The social network nobody asked to join.

R.I.P.

🐝

Google Buzz

2010 – 2011

Launched by auto-sharing Gmail contacts publicly. FTC complaint. Dead in 9 months. Record time.

Chromecasted right into the void.

R.I.P.

🎮

Daydream VR

2016 – 2019

Google's VR platform. Officially deprecated because "the technology wasn't ready." We put it out first.

+ 277 more. killedbygoogle.com keeps the full list. It is tragic.
