    A private vpn is an oxymoron. Since you tunnel all your data to some server.

    Google and privacy is an oxymoron.

    “Google private vpn” would be a mega oxymoron.

    Google’s unbelievably aggressive BS is the just about the only reason I run a VPN. Despite taking extraordinary steps to block them, Google still manages to regularly shove their BS into my life.

    Google removed “Don’t Be Evil” from their mission statement for a reason.

      Or, they’ll bake it into Chrome, thus controlling all advertising.
