Can you see what Google does with the information you provide them using this service? No? Then theres your answer.

My main question would be: does it include protection from Google itself?

Huh, seems more about locking Chrome down but doesn't touch on Webviews.

Still better than nothing. Not sure how I feel trusting Google to keep my data secure, but on its face I think it's a good thing. It should be used in conjunction with other good opsec practices, but having tools available to more people is a good thing. This assumes that it actually does what it says it does on the tin.
