    It’s a Google VPN, which means they own it, which means they see literally everything you do if you use it, rather than just seeing what you do if you visit a page with their tracking and you don’t block their cookies and scripts.

        The difference is that those companies presumably don’t run the biggest advertising agency in the world, don’t cooperate with governments, and don’t log your history or original IP address. Using Google as a VPN provider in oppressive countries that punish free speech online could present a serious hazard. Plus there’s just the overall privacy issue too.
