  • I haven’t found any evidence of that from some quick searching. There are a few strips of him getting out of the car in a big coat and a fedora with noone else in it, another where Calvin causing his mum to take him to school in the car makes his dad late for work, and another where Calvin take the car’s tyre off to make a swing makes his dad late…





  • It can process all of that easily on its servers. But there should then be evidence of this very large quantity of data being exported out of Chrome and uploaded to Google, which I don’t believe there is.

    There are some other difficulties, too: no two shopping platforms encode “user completed the order” in the exact same way, so performing that analysis is actually quite hard and not nearly 100% accurate, even if you can get the complete browsing data.



  • But to do that, Google would need to collect and save save and process every URL you go to. It would need to snoop not only that you looked at the dishwasher, but that you clicked “add to basket” and then “order” and then completed the order without ever removing it from the basket. That means analysing not just the pages you visit but also the underlying requests that control the basket and order process.

    There’s nothing it can do more minimally, and as far as I know it doesn’t do this.


  • As far as I know, Google and Facebook do not collect every single URL you visit. It wouldn’t be impossible for Chrome to do this, but I think it would be public information because of the nature and volume of that information - even though efforts can be made to disguise what it collects. Facebook basically has no such ability because it collects information by having a little thing on each page, with the agreement of the page owner, and I don’t think that thing receives any info from a successful sale (as opposed to "person browsed this product’s page)
