Either I've missed the statements where they are gathering data, or you are promoting misinformation. It's also possible they are collecting information without regard to their privacy policy. I'd think someone would find a reason to jump on that.

Well Google has said, or not said, a lot of things. What I'm saying is that they SHOULD be collecting and using user metrics data. In fact, I think it should be the biggest "factor" in the algorithm.

Google must have spent quite a lot of time and money to develop Chrome, and I doubt they would have done so without envisioning a purpose for it.

As for any privacy policies, I'm sure that someone at Google can think of a way to circumvent them. For example, maybe all the data could be aggregated into a database that doesn't include anybody's personal information.
