    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.

        No… Even if that was true, what you’re saying is “you’re right, but you might not be in a month, sooo Google bad”.

        It won’t be opt-out because first of all, that’s against the law. And second you’re literally opting in by accepting their terms…
