This is to be separated: #1: Google is implemented as Mozilla's #1 Search Engine in the list. #2: Google uses the Mozilla Browser's prefetching feature ad #1: If that makes Mozilla a bad browser for you, you're free to fork your own source tree and have whatever-you-like as #1 search engine. ad #2: Certainly this imposes a privacy leak. But it's a feature you can disable - as well as, e.g. including images from foreign web sites. That cookie argument doesn't count: any image linked from other sites can do the very same. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
