So logging every single URL you visit and every search you make on Google isn't evil? This is the kind of nasty extension that your browser warns you about when you open a private/incognito window. I realize you were just talking about the HTTPS aspect of it, but your parent asked about the generic "this".
It's pretty clear they "might do this" so they can data-mine your browsing activity, which is now associated with your account, and serve you more targeted ads and product recommendations. So I guess we have to extend your catch-phrase with "...and never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by greed."
- gohrt 13y ago> every single URL you visit and every search you make on Google isn't evil No, it's not evil, it's the the point of the extension -- to do product search. If you don't like the product, you don't have to use it, but you can't say you want it, and then say it's evil for doing exactly what it says on the tin.
