Due to phishing danger, some experts have voted Google Chrome as the worst of browsers. The response of the technology giant was not long in coming. But when it comes to personal data collection, how does Chrome behave? There are many schools of thought and in between is a developer who created an application very interesting that warns us in real time when the browser collects our data. Let's go and see what it is.
How do you know when Goole collects our data? Thanks to Googlerteller, an open source app that we find on GitHub. Here's what to know
Googerteller is an application developed to show the user every time that Google collects some data through Chrome. It manages to do this through i sounds it emits and the result is no different than what many people already imagined: beeps pretty much all the time. Bert Hubert is the creator of the software. This app works by evaluating all the information sent from the computer to the various IPs that belong to Google. These addresses are public and every time the PC connects to them, the application beeps to indicate that Google has "checked".
It is worth mentioning that there are already controversies on the subject, such as when Google has been sued for data collection even when using the browser in the incognito tab. Now this kind of action usually occurs in the navigation traditional or even when using some other installed software.
The same kind of situation occurs when using Firefox as a browser instead of Google Chrome. In other words, the search giant it keeps an eye on everything that is done on the Internet, even if the aim is to optimize everyone's experience to suggest words when searching.
Another likely use of the data obtained would be that of target advertising based on the terms searched. Anyway, Google has already shown its features with a focus on user privacy, but this situation seems to say the least poco curious.
