So what, they can trap more information to present you ads based on your browsing habits?

I think this is a feature of Google One subscription. Is it free for non-subscribers?

It was recently added to Google One. I don’t think it’s free. Others in the thread have said that it was also offered on some of Google’s Phones in the past.
