Firefox is not permanently storing what I type in a search box along with my IP address and a unique identifying number. My IP provider writes over the data in time, so while it is available for a while, it is not permanently stored.
As you accurately point out privacy concerns abound. So should the consumer then support a company whose very goal is to profit by invading consumer privacy, and thus help set the bar even lower? Or should he refuse and in essence demand companies make products that improve privacy.
To me that argument is like saying...look at all the crime around, it is everywhere...might as well embrace it and support those who do it.
And even if all they are storing is seach data...for now...I am not going to support anyone moving the privacy bar in the wrong direction...cant wait to see how low it will go.
