If you search for "hotels", they'll show you suggestions that match "hotels".
Doesn't seem that complicated to me.

- Aeolun 5y agoBut I don’t want Mozilla to know what I’m searching for?
- jamienicol 5y agoAnd that's your choice, and you're free to not enable this feature. I trust Mozilla with what I'm searching for more than I trust Google though
- executesorder66 5y agoThey didn't ask how can they make relevant suggestions. They asked how can they make relevant suggestions WITHOUT SPYING ON MY BROWSING HISTORY. Try again.
- daveoc64 5y agoI answered that already. If you search for "hotels", they'll show you things related to "hotels". That doesn't require access to your browsing history - it's right there in the search term.
- executesorder66 5y agoOkay then maybe browsing history was too specific a term. It might not be in the list of URLs you have visited, but it is in a list of things you have searched. So your search history. The principal is the same. People don't want their private lives (in part expressed through what they search for) exploited and exposed.
