Your chrome browser, the ad trackers linked to your IP, your wifi name/IP likely mapped and cross referenced with your android device, your google search history cross referenced with your browser capabilities, IP address, ad and tracking cookies, the google authenticator you use to log in, google maps, location services, the fact you set your dns to 8.8.8.8 one time three years ago because your ISP was having problems, your social media account crossreferenced with friends that have used your AP while visiting your house, or perhaps strangers that drove past your house with an android phone in their pocket. That one time you typed your password into google search accidentally. If you use Chrome, all of your passwords are probably saved onto Google servers anyway though. The presentations you write in google docs, that one time you google translated a document. Google calendar syncing your appointments with your google location history, plus things you bought like that sofa using Google Pay, not to mention your app store purchases. But you escaped on a nice holiday you compared the prices of using Google Flights, but it all became a lot easier once you installed a Google Home wiretap in your house, it was easier to hear than the one installed in your phone. But at least when you browse the news, in firefox, on your work PC, it's not linked to google, although hold on google AMP has replaced all the news sites with their own cached version. Plus your e-mail is on G-Suite, your files are on Google Drive, and the websites you use are powered by Google Charts. Your thermostat and home automation are powered by Google Nest, and your driving instructions come from Google Maps or Google Waze. Half of your mobile apps were written in Google Flutter/Dart, and many websites you visit are protected with Google reCapcha. At least you can unplug though and simply use your Android powered TV box. Or avoid TV and just kick back and go directly for some Google YouTube.
