I use Google One VPN which also promises not to keep my data. Hahahahaha

Unless your VPN has already been court ordered to give over logs and couldn't because they don't keep any, they're not trustworthy. Even then, if it's google I'm not sure I'd trust it

I don't trust them, especially after this incognito finding. I use them to encrypt on unencrypted wifi. That's all I trust it for.

I literally develop on a lot of Google stack and I don't trust them for shit
