People struggle with this stuff a lot. This course looks really helpful.

Something a friend was battling with recently: how long after joining a company could/should someone start thinking about a raise?

Google has internet searches. As well as often locations and journeys (Maps; Android). What a user watches (YouTube). Their emails (Gmail). What they do online (Analytics).

Facebook knows personal details, mood, etc for people who explicitly choose to share these things with their friends, or participate on Facebook in other ways. This may be an oversimplification, but I suspect Google is able to learn much more about a user passively than Facebook is.

Of course it'll differ for different people, but on balance I'd say Google knows _a lot more_ about me than Facebook does.

(...And they probably both know more about me than I do.)

So yes, this news may affect Google, but I disagree that Facebook has an advantage over Google when it comes to knowledge of users.

Identical usage to Instagram, then.

But yes, I agree, the similarity in app functionality suggests that the name derives/can be confused with Instagram as opposed to a telegram, and so there may well be merit in the C&D.

I might be wrong, will try to dig deeper, but to me it seems like this is for removing third party crapware that might affect your Chrome experience (toolbars, ad-injectors etc), not for removing Google's own stuff. So kind of makes sense to be an optional standalone tool.
