Here’s a rewritten version of the content in a provocative and controversial manner:
Google’s Insidious Plan to Control Your Browser Habits
Google is taking another step towards monitoring your every move online, this time with a new feature that automatically opens Google Meet calls in picture-in-picture mode when you switch tabs in Chrome. Because, of course, you’re too busy to actually stay focused on your work calls.
According to a company blog post, this new feature will "make it easier" to keep track of your Google Meet calls, but let’s be real – it’s just another way for Google to track your every click and keystroke. And with no opt-out option, you’ll be forced to surrender your browsing habits to the almighty Google.
As the company’s own GIF shows, when you click away from the Google Meet call, a new Meet window will pop up elsewhere on the screen, ensuring that you can’t escape the constant barrage of virtual meetings. Because who needs to focus on anything else when you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of video conferencing?
And don’t even get me started on the fact that this feature is available to "all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts". In other words, everyone. There’s no escape from Google’s all-seeing eye.
So, the next time you’re tempted to switch tabs during a Google Meet call, just remember: you’re not really in control. Google is. And that’s a terrifying thought.
