Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 2:1.6-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The google search functionality when entering search terms in the
location bar sends the following url to google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=<query>&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Note the "sourceid=mozilla-search" parameter: it tells Google that I am
searching with Mozilla.
Even though I love Mozilla and Google I consider this a privacy issue,
since this parameter cannot be removed or suppressed. It is hardcoded
into the google.src component.
I attached a patch that removes the sourceid trickery.
Cheers, Bastian
