I'm on the "OK but keep an eye on it" train, here.
Devs need feedback to know how people are using the product, and opt-out tracking is the best way to do it. In this case, it seems like my personal data is completely unidentifiable.
I was coding in the IE6 era, so I'd really prefer to not end up in a browser engine monoculture again.
I don't need freaking suggestions from the browser, that's the job of the search engine of my choice.
most search engines don't keep anonymous search data so that's what firefox is trying to fix.
You're right, i tend to forget the majority uses Google as the default
I want freaking suggestions from the browser though, in a way that respects my privacy
Maybe switch to a search engine respecting it.
I use Kagi and DuckDuckGo, but some users may still be on Google.
So you gain nothing.
I like that the option is there, don't be an elitist.
