Privacy issues?
Authored by: Ilgaz on Jun 27, '07 08:07:55AM
Hi,

Of course one may trust their private data (non SSL) to Google but it must be said: Google Toolbar autofill was something host based, I am hoping they have changed it.

I couldn't find needed, clear "No, we don't get your forms" on Google toolbar privacy pages.

Google toolbar is the thing which made lots of privacy concerned users nuts about Google, I still think their policy was and still a mistake just like GMail.

If you ALREADY use Google toolbar, it is not an issue. If you just install Google toolbar to make browser do a thing it should already do (IMHO), it is a bit issue.

Hope nobody misunderstands it. Also, of course anything sent non encyripted to web (non SSL) is not private. :)

I just say you better read their privacy policies at http://www.google.com/support/firefox/bin/static.py?page=privacy.html&;
before installing. The "Advanced" features and the privacy issues with them is the deal breaker for me.
