just curious would appreciate some feedback. what privacy if any does chrome provide?
I'm running VPN, I also opened chrome incognito to an empty (blank) url & according to sysinternals tcpview chrome opened 14 TCP connections port 443 to:
5 to google (to at least 3 different ip)
6 to 1.amazonaws.com (2 ip)
2 to microsoft cheyenne wo (1 ip)
1 to n/a verizon (1ip)

what's going on with all these connections? do I need wireshark to capture what's going out?? IP info is from spiceworks.
ps I do have an iphone on verizon, but was not using it when chrome opened verizon related connection, don't know how or if related.

It's not 100% invading privacy software. Chrome supports plenty of security and privacy extensions, and with the correct configuration you can get better privacy than stock Chrome. The OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) also provide different security and privacy software to further improve privacy.
When you use chrome you have no privacy. Incognito mode is not helping either
Old information..

Changes are coming.
