In addition to the overhead, this has rather significant privacy implications, since you're sending your complete browsing history to a third party (and in real-time).

And the third party is SearchYC, run by "a couple of guys". They don't even have a privacy policy.

That being said, I don't fault the SearchYC guys for this at all- the extension leverages their site far beyond its original intended purpose.

Something like StumbleUpon has similar privacy implications and yet, people don't seem to have any problem with that.
