    This looks fine, the browser just puts your search into a category like “health” or “tech”, then sends the amount of each category completely anonymously.

    Also, if you’ve opted out of data collection already that setting applies to this too.

      I agree. I am someone who values their privacy and often does not like opt-out style analytics however I also know opt-in skews analytics. The way the searches are only categorized, and they are using Oblivious HTTP keeping IP addresses private makes me A-OK with this.
