[Bug 402767] Re: multisearch add on blocks the functionality of firefox location bar

[Kyle Jones]

Whoah whoah whoah. Hold on for a second.

WHAT KIND of data are you gathering?

Correct me if I'm incorrect, but you just implied that this extension,
which is forcefully installed without any kind of user knowledge or
consent, is designed in part to collect search data.

Without user knowledge or consent. Collecting data.

If this is true, I'm not sure the implications of this are realized by
whoever's project this is, alpha or not. I suggest you re-evaluate the
inclusion of this extension as soon as humanly possible.

To put it in as plain English as possible:

This new extension is installed by stealth, hijacks the search functions
of the browser by masquerading itself as plain Google search but funnels
those searches to your own custom Google search, and some data those
searches done by unknowing users is being collected by someone at
Canonical.

Think about that for a moment.
