Ubiquity did the same thing with their routers. They couldn’t understand why users had such a problem with their phone home feature that was on by default when the purpose of it was to ultimately “improve” the user experience. I didn’t buy their router as a result. I also removed kaspersky from my computer because I didn’t like their phone home feature. Turns out they were selling my data despite holding my trust as a security company. DDG, don’t turn this into a PR nightmare. We don’t trust anyone anymore. Privacy policies are worthless. Nobody cares about favicons anyway.
