Google Chrome Phoning Home About Apple Music Stream

[Macintosh IIvx]

Seems every time the next song comes up on Apple Music streams (played in the Music app on my Mac), Little Snitch pops up with a request for Chrome to connect to the Google servers. Anyone else notice this? Happens like clockwork.

I don't use Chrome but, that behavior doesn't surprise me. Google wants to know everything you are doing. If that were happening to me, I would ditch Chrome forthwith.

I'm curious if Chrome is running or not while this is happening.

Have you given Chrome or any Chrome plugins any particular system privileges? I see in my Privacy preferences there is a section where apps can be listed which want access to your music and video activity?

Many Google servers are used by developers and companies other than Google for hosting various kinds of content and services. Any chance the servers' names end with "googleusercontent.com"? As an example, I see 1Password connecting to such a server. I'm pretty sure that's not Google collecting any information.

Grasping at straws...
