At the very least, they should have made it opt-in rather than opt-out. I don't like them quietly sneaking a pre-enabled advertising option into the configuration options.

And they know it's a potential privacy issue, since all the address bar suggestion options are already under the "Privacy & Security" settings.

If they were opt in, would they even make back the investment it took to build the feature to begin with?
