> referring to search suggestions as "key-logging" is disingenuous at best.
Most regular users think you search for something on Google, it is between them and Google. This "feature" started sending one's incomplete queries to Mozilla as well. Every time user presses a key, search suggestions update, meaning every key user presses is sent to Mozilla before the search is even executed on Google.
Upon upgrade, users where not asked "We would like to see every key you press while typing anything in the search bar. Do you give us permission?"
> glibly referring to search suggestions as "key-logging"
Yeah, I think I am going to keep glibly referring to sending every key-stroke to Mozilla while the user is constructing a search query or looking for a bookmark or a page in their browser history as "key-logging."
