This is to be separated: |

|
| 12 |
#1: Google is implemented as Mozilla's #1 Search Engine in the list. |
| 13 |
#2: Google uses the Mozilla Browser's prefetching feature |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
ad #1: If that makes Mozilla a bad browser for you, you're free to fork |
| 16 |
your own source tree and have whatever-you-like as #1 search engine. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
ad #2: Certainly this imposes a privacy leak. But it's a feature you |
| 19 |
can disable - as well as, e.g. including images from foreign web sites. |
| 20 |
That cookie argument doesn't count: any image linked from other sites |
| 21 |
can do the very same. |
