Google Chrome may be spying on you without your knowledge

Google Chrome may be spying on you without your knowledge despite locking down its permissions, even with proper attention to detail.

As long as your using Google Chrome you may have to change these settings now as long as you care about your privacy.

While Apple is doing all it can to keep personal information private, Google is taking it’s time, fact is without certain benchmarks it would be hard to know what is wrong.

Google is synonymous with the internet while Apple is synonymous with executive class, such who have no time but be innovative.

The difference between these two creates more friction than what could light a forest, despite having all the capital to innovate and create.

For example iPhone users have to allow websites to access certain information explicitly, something much different for Android.

In particular any website you visit using chrome can access all information you would have denied had it been an app.

In other words if a website can’t get information from you directly via it’s app then it’s website will grant them that information easily.

What should you do?

By looking at the Google chrome permissions you miss the entire idea, given that these are hidden under the hood.

For one to access these settings you:

1. Open Google chrome
2. Go to settings
3. Click on site accessibility
4. Disable the following settings;
5. a) motion sensors,
6. b) location,
7. c) microphone,
8. d) camera

Change these settings now if you have an Android device, otherwise any website that you visit on your phone will collect all the information it needs using these settings.

While you may take it as nothing much, you must remember that anyone with access to your motion sensor can tell how far you have moved from home.

As long as your device is with you its easy for a third part to determine whether your home or away from home and using the location sensor your toast.

In other words Google Chrome may be spying on you without your knowledge despite locking down its permissions, thus change these settings.

While many people agree that, Google chrome has alot of work to do and you are at risk before these settings are changed, we must be pro active.

Privacy is only a statement that most websites talk about but will never ever respect or ever act on. Your on your own whenever you sign up on any website

According to Google, these settings do not affect the privacy of the users and thus there is no need for a user to worry about them. 

Closing remarks

Keeping your data private is something you can strive to achieve and in all cases being elusive is something you must strive to be will online.

As long as you own an iPhone you can rest assured that nothing or anyone will access the data on your device, which may not be the case for android users.

Change the above settings if you care above you privacy and want to keep you information safe, Google chrome is having your 6 not.

Nothing on the internet is real so keep yourself intact and keep working  on progress for nothing shall protect you like your own gut feeling and you super cautious nerves.

As a precautionary measure set a day aside every weekend to update your system settings, in particular you information online, take every care to ensure little or no information is shared every time.
