It's important to note that enabling this protection on one device carries over to the others. However, enabling these safeguards also grants Google access to detailed information about your browsing habits. This is because when you log in to Chrome, your browsing data is temporarily linked to your Google account. The goal is to tailor protections to your account, and Google notes that this data is anonymized after a short period of time.

Great, more data harvesting. Bloodsuckers.
