Another service to the graveyard: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Another one bites the dust!
Who it the fuck use a Google “VPN”??
LMAO…
I use it when I’m staying at hotels and want to use their WiFi, or any other public WiFi, to protect my private data. Google probably has it anyway but there’s no need to share it with another unknown entity.

And next time, people are even more cautious about getting invested in a Google tool.

Speaking of updates my Xiaomi just updated to A14, and even thou
I now get this…
You couldn’t make it up.
Huh. I didn’t even realize it was a thing. I’ve had Google One for several years.
Google is now “discontinuing the VPN feature as [they] found people simply weren’t using it.”
Yeah because why would I let the fox into the hen house?
