   Nothing has changed about Google or how they make money. The thing that has changed is that advertising is getting out of hand again and starting to make the web trash. That's ultimately bad for business for a company like Google. We've been here before. But I don't believe this is tied to whether Google can or can't be trusted with your data though. It's an important issue, but a separate one.

     The company that made 90% of their revenue through advertising made a web browser and y'all were like "I'm sure it'll work out".

     I mean there's nothing wrong with this message. But if you can't trust Google with your data today, you couldn't trust them yesterday either. If you wait until the abuse is obvious, it's already too late.
