Like we believe that... (about a company who's
stated aim was to
database everything). I think it's more of a
concern what they'd do
with it, rather than worrying *if* they'll do
something with it.

The answer's simple enough. If you don't
trust them, don't use it.
I don't. I don't trust Google not to make use of the data, though that's not such a great concern since I am doing a lot of Google searching - they are already databasing me, to a large degree.
More importantly, I don't trust some website to tell me that a site is safe, when it might not be. Nor would I rely on it warning me about some site that mightn't be safe.
And I could do without any delays being added by waiting for a check.
I don't like the way Firefox ends up on some other OSs. With two or three taskbars crowding out the window, and bogging the program down with further processing. Firefox's none-to-nippy, anymore, without making it do even more work.
I've seen some anti-virus software, for instance, hook into the browser, and give you warnings about listings you see from Google. Google could do that themselves, when they generate results for your searches.
Thank you Tim for hitting the nail right on the head. This is what I am trying to say in the previous messages within this thread. We need none of that. I see the toolbars in the other OS, and I would hate ***linux any not just Fedora*** incorporate them, that would definitely make me sad :( This is what I liked about linux and now they are invading it as well :(
My $0.02, I will have to save so I can fill my car's tank as the gas_prices >= $4.00, and gas_prices++) not cool :( either
$0.02 is not much lost in this case.

Antonio
