Fair enough, but there is no way to change to that even if I consent to send my keystrokes for auto completion.

Also, Firefox has auto completion on by default on its default search engine, which is Google no less. So I'm not sure why this topic is about privacy other than purely technical.

Firefox doesn't have auto completion on Google. Rather, there's one of two other things going on:

- Google has auto completion on Google through a bit of JavaScript.

- Firefox has auto completion on all text input fields that don't specifically disable it and aren't password fields.

As a portal to the internet, I'm quite happy that Firefox doesn't modify specific individual websites, even if they are Google (the anti tracking features are/should not be hardcoded values, but rather behavioral).

I'm talking about auto completion in search (in address bar or search bar), which by default is Google. Not talking about Google website, or any text area in webpage in general.

>I'm quite happy that Firefox..

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with that too. The one I replied to seems not happy about the behavior that you can get auto-completion results from search engines in Chrome, because that "end up sending keystrokes to third parties". I was simply pointing out Firefox did that too with default search engine, just not when you're using keyword to call other engines; which IMO implies it's purely a technical limitation, not a privacy choice.
