Most if not all of the bundled search engines send the data over HTTPS and do not save what you type or assign it to your account. There is nothing to worry about.
HTTPS says nothing about how trustworthy the end recipient is, just that only they will receive your data.

Today you've told us to use chrome, trust google, and that spyware is okay if it's "normal in marketing". Do you work for google, or are you full of shit takes today for another reason? You clearly don't get what made people like Firefox in the first place. You are so out of touch, it's painful.

Have you heard of Chrome. It's made by Google, the company behind the most popular search engine. It's fast and has lots of features. It's got pretty popular over the last several years. I recommend checking it out.

Looks like I'm not the only one who smelled something off about those comments. This is the first time I've seen such blatant shilling of Google here.

Does a serious alternative to Firefox exist? I mean an alternative that is what Firefox purports to be? I'm ready to make the switch. Been with Mozilla since Pheonix, but the user hostility has become too much.
