I never claimed pocket detracted from privacy. I actually explained my problem with pocket... To add to that, it shouldn't be embedded in the browser. It's an extension and they have a marketplace for that.

And even if Safe Browsing does do what you say, the other google stuff still does and did exist.

> If Mozilla were serious about Firefox and privacy, they'd.. remove all the Pocket they unnecessarily shoved into Firefox

Even if you're backing down from that statement, why should it be an extension? why should they remove a popular feature and source of income just because you don't like it?

Yes Firefox will perform Google searches or location requests if you ask it to. It doesn't if you don't.
