The performative outrage about the GDID is quite comical in the context that everyone continues to be mum about Google Chrome, a browser explicitly designed to hoover up as much data as possible about you, even having been caught doing it in Incognito Mode [1], all while touting "privacy" features; which means no one besides Google is allowed to do it.

Not a fan of whaddaboutism.

It’s much easier to switch browsers than operating systems, especially if you have apps that require windows.

Besides, there is no obligation to be equally outraged about all things.

What Google was "caught" doing was exactly what it was doing in non-incognito mode already. Anyone expecting the websites you visit to know you're in private mode and to not log data is just lacking basic tech knowledge.

It is silly that Google had to explicitly state that in the disclaimer.
