Because they have said these settings are to be trusted.

And I say I have a green skin, three eyes, and an antenna on my forehead. Trust me, I do not tell you nonsense!

FB, on the other hand, is tracking you-EVEN if you don't have an account. You only need to visit pages that have a directly connection to FB.(this is what I have been told by some IT-security people in the news some years ago)

And by me! Its true, at least it was true when I rea dabout it, maybe four and five and six years ago. And Chrome OS and browser indeed started with plenty of dummy switches and was ranked as so fraudulent and dangerous that the German office for IT security rated all the early incarnations of Chrome OS as malware and recommended the Germans to not use it.

When I check the settings tabs on my smartphone for the Chrome browser in it (which is not Chrome OS obviously, but still) I see that privacy relevant deletion options and setting sare scatterted all xcross the place. They make it as complicated as possible to easiyl delete cookies and to delete user history data and such.

Same with Windows 10, plus Microsoft's customer-oriented new habit of constantly chnaging its terminology to confuse people and make them agree to settings that do not work for but against them - but work so nice for Microsoft.

When someobdy sets up traps and more traps to get me caught, he does not become a friend of mine just because in principle I am free to work my way around these traps. He remains to be my enemy even if I can avoid all of his traps. Which is unlikely that I can.

Getting intentionally misled by somebody, is not nice. I take it personal, I take a mental note of it, and I do not forgive nor forget it. When I get cheated intentionally, I have an elephant's memory.
