Is that so? Chromium browser, distributed in Debian repositories, sends a signal to Google (with cookies) every time you open new tab if you use Google as default search engine (you can easily verify this by opening a new tab, running developer tools and refreshing the tab. The URL is https://www.google.ru/_/chrome/newtab?ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.ru/_/chrome/newtab?ie=UTF-8 and it has headers preventing caching).
