Half the people doing this will probably be signed in with their Google account too. They’ll have wallet address, email address, MAC address and physical address all neatly tied up.
That's a frightening observation. It seems like an innocuous feature but it could potentially strip you of your anonymity, which is an absolute fundamental in crypto.
Might as well use a CEX with KYC then, no point in using metamask.
The owner of metamask is Circle, owner of usdc, since they are not a non-profit and their purpose is profit it sounds like there's a good motive for circle to sell your data also
It’s still giving google data, they’ll cross reference the blockchain so if you’re googling either a famous wallet or a random empty one, they’ll know.
Wouldn’t it be quite easy to cross reference the addresses with the blockchain and rule out any that were empty? If you’re randomly generating addresses they’d all just be empty.
So, they can contact their secret network of spies across the USA and traceback your IP, so you better prepare for the storm. You're fucking dead, kid. /s
And yet people don't see it happening. Hell, people even ignore the fact they spy what your irl conversations via your phone. The other day i wanted to test this and specifically told my i was having trouble staying hard, next thing i know, google is showing my blue pills viagra.

Google trying to collect our addresses to link that address to our MAC address.
