Google's latest privacy-washing trick is called "IP Protection" for Google Chrome.
If you turn it on, Google routes all of your traffic through their servers where they can do whatever they want, not to mention the millions of other ways they already have to track you.
Last week, Google announced its own VPN service. Trusting Google's VPN would be like trusting a VPN from the NSA. Here's why giving Google direct access to all your online activity is a terrible idea:

Our audits are fully available to the public without the need to share any data or agree to any terms:
In the recent macOS Big Sur release, Apple placed 56 of its own apps, such as FaceTime and Apple Maps, on an exclusion list allowing them to bypass firewalls and certain VPNs without users’ knowledge. This seriously undermines macOS users’ security and privacy.
