I don’t need freaking suggestions from the browser, that’s the job of the search engine of my choice.

most search engines don’t keep anonymous search data so that’s what firefox is trying to fix.

You’re right, i tend to forget the majority uses Google as the default

I want freaking suggestions from the browser though, in a way that respects my privacy

Maybe switch to a search engine respecting it.

I use Kagi and DuckDuckGo, but some users may still be on Google.

So you gain nothing.

I like that the option is there, don’t be an elitist.
