I don’t really understand what search topics have to do with improving the browser. The blog post doesn’t make that clear at all.

Agreed. If it was for a search engine, it would make some sense, but the browser, WTF for?

Because the lived experience of many users is the browser integrates with the search engine to give you predictive suggestions as you type, identify images, translate, etc.

That’s cool, the thing is that Mozilla does not have a search engine. What’s the use for them? Benchmarking other engines? Knowing engine rankings?

What you mention in your comment, they already do now.

This is my question as well. I am happy to leave it on if they can provide a clearer explanation of what my data will be used for, but for now it will remain off.
