READ MORE: Apple has issued a massive warning to all of its 1.46 billion iPhone users that appears centered around Google Chrome.
While the billboard is a stab at Google, the company did reveal earlier this year that it collects data from anyone who uses Chrome.Apple promoted the security of its own Safari browser - which has nearly one billion users globally - on billboards around the world to dissuade people from using the Chrome alternative, which has an estimated 3.4 billion users
Another person commented on San Francisco's billboard, writing: 'Seeing how Google settles a lawsuit for its incognito not being so incognito, there’s literally no doubt that this is playing off of that.' ‘Personal data is so valuable to companies and when terms and conditions are so difficult to understand, it can be easy for users to simply allow companies to collect data at their will.’
The ad was promoted in cities like San Francisco, London and Paris to far-reaching countries including Singapore and Australia.
