The cynic in me sees this as cutting off Google, and then tracking within the browser so they become the source of cross-internet tracking. I'd be on the lookout for any new 'personalization' feature that comes in to the browser. E.g. WWDC 2018: 'Today we're happy to announce Siri integration with safari! She will provide personalized recommendations and results by applying machine learning to your documents and data!'

They showed this on iOS Safari today:

> Siri now suggests searches in Safari based on what you were just reading. And when you confirm an appointment or a flight on a travel website, Siri asks if you want to add it to your calendar.

Search for "Smarter about you." on this page: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-11-preview/ Looks like it's done on the device though, End-to-end encrypted with your other devices.
