@jomo I also dislike that add-on and think it is not a good idea of them to do this A/B user testing. Still… that's kinda the point of the add-on. Get suggestions for the websites you visited. If the user ops-in into that (i.e. actively installs the add-on and is aware of that thing) I can see nothing wrong with that. It's their choice to share the browser history.

@jomo And skimming https://gist.github.com/solso/423a1104a9e3c1e3b8d7c9ca14e885e5 I see that they seem to try really hard to remove private data from URLs.

@paulfree14 @jomo Come on… That's 1 percent of all users. So it won't affect you at all if you do not reinstall your browser (and even if it does, just uninstall it in the addons panel)

@jomo @paulfree14 The thing is there is no better good mainstream FLOSS browser. There are Firefox forks using legacy stuff. Maybe use epiphany. That is not a mainstream browser, however, and it won't have all recent features, but at least it gets security updates.
Also I think Mozilla's stand on privacy is quite good, compared to Google or so. It's just that they (or one department) sometimes does such bad decisions

@paulfree14 @jomo Mozilla is not anymore funded by Google. They even do not have a contract for the advertising revenue previously generated by using Google as a search engine in many countries.
