【Hostess in Heat】
Good things come to Pixel users who wait.
After teasing private browsing at its Pixel event this past October,Hostess in Heat Google's finally delivered. Today, the search giant dropped a bunch of new features for its line of smartphones, including that built-in VPN for its Google One cloud storage service. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro users will now have access to this VPN through the Google One app at no extra cost and with no subscription necessary.
VPN by Google One works by encrypting your internet activity and hiding your IP address. If you're using a public network or simply don't want your location tracked, a VPN gives you that protection. In the Google One app, users can toggle "Use VPN" to instantly protect their browsing data and location. Apple has a similar tool for iPhones called Private Relay that similarly comes with a subscription to its iCloud+ or Apple One services, but it's not free for iPhone 14 users. That said, Private Relay only protects user traffic within the company's own web browser, Safari.
