one, the information they collect is not personally identifiable. Did you sign-in to use the browser. No. Then how do they know who you are. (and don't say IP address).
two, if you're netscape, how do you bill those people that are getting placement in the browser, like a google, goto, just put them in for free? Do you really think that Netscape wants to rely on google logs and let them tell netscape how much they really should be paying? Right...
three, it's not like you can't go to mycroft.mozdev.org and configure a sherlock plug-in without the Netscape redirects in there...
four, what the hell are they going to do with search information on an individual basis? Not a damn thing. Can you imagine the size of the logs and the data warehouse that this needs for them to truly track your every move. The only entity that can do this is the gov't. Even AOL can't afford to do this.
give it up. You guys make no sense.
Oh, and far as the cookie comment...Netscape created cookies to establish a means to provide saving information for cross-sessions not for advertising.
