By the same token, neither is Cortana? It's a very specific time when it's gathering that data. Why are we continuing to entertain the idea that the OS is literally logging and reporting every keystroke?
Or if FireFox's-awesomesearch-or-basically-spotlight-3-years-later integrated into the Windows OS is such a disturbing trend, why are we not equally censuring Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iOS search, Android Search, and Spotlight for these behaviors? Could we perhaps be consistent?
- Sylos 10y agoCortana has replaced the local search on Windows 10. Users will be searching for their local files, which will be sent to Microsoft, which is neither necessary nor appropriate. You now have to expect being put on a list, if you search for "bomb.txt" on your system. As for your whataboutism: Most of those have been criticized in the past. Just because we don't list all of them every time a new company decides to do the same shit, again, doesn't mean that we are inconsistent. And "most", because Firefox is specifically keeping a separate URL bar and search bar around, so that the URLs you type in aren't sent off to search engines unnecessarily.
