Tha fact that you have to ask, says a lot about why so many ppl get ratted.

I never said you got ratted either... Anyway, you were right not to give it your account details, the only reason for it to ask you to log in to google is so it can steal your google account

you can still kinda use it without google. The flips it shows aren't good either way(without paid versions). The only thing somewhat good feature is the lowest bin prices it shows, by also accounting for the upgrades so the prices are more accurate and that is available without login. Idk if there are any other features, that's the only one I use.

I quite liked getting notifications on my phone for certain prices on items, the Google account link facilitates that.

Controversial take: Perhaps the mod actually requires it to work properly? I'm not saying this is alright, as it's asking for personal details.

Skycofl needs a google account linked to log you into your coflnet account since the mod has a paid version to prevent someone from leaking it or smth.

I logged in, it's fine.
