"The only way to fix the privacy issues with prefetching is for the search engine (not just Google--Bing, too) to serve the prefetched page from their own CDN."

Except Google is probably the biggest threat to privacy on the planet. You're not "fixing" the privacy issues, you're making things worse.

It’s not making things any worse. Google already knows what your searched for and they already know what you clicked on, even without AMP. They probably know what you did on that webpage too because they’re probably using google analytics.

I don’t like google google either, especially because of their history on privacy issues, but they’re not getting much additional info from this. Just a stronger foothold on the web
