An interesting deep-dive into how Google profiles and values different users.

It highlights that even though the service is "free", the sheer value each user holds to Google from their data and ad-revenue. And with that, the impact you can have by leaving them.

What is the color code on that page supposed to convey?

I just clicked on "browsers" and found no explanation nor pattern on the color code.

And no: I won't search for it, this is critique with a question mark not genuine need for answer.

Are you talking about the banner for each subsection which is the same color as the product or platform’s primary branding color?
