I think the difference is that google search isn't used until you actually
do a search. So you can not use it fairly easily. Connecting to web pages
before you get a chance to disable that feature is a privacy problem unless
those web pages are local copies.
You don't connect to these pages. You just see their logos. I don't know
yet if that would be a local copy or not.
