It's disgusting. Users browser history is private, just like their search history. Fuck Google.
It's opt-in and they're very clear about that.
This is completely incorrect. It is opt-out.
It was turned on for me by default when I opened Chrome (it had updated in the background). I had to go to settings to turn it back off.
I live in Europe, and it's most definitely opt-in.
