The thing you made up gets highly annoying, sometimes?

Maybe it was removed after August, but it was in Firefox only a few months ago.

And for the record, FF android prioritizes Google searches over history leading to accidentally visiting the Google search for a web page I often frequent.

That doesn't seem to say anything about what gets transmitted to or from Google? Certainly it's not your visited URLs.

For search suggestions we send what you've typed, not full URLs. I'm not sure what happens when pasting a URL but I would recommend using Paste & Go in that case. Search suggestions can be disabled too in the app settings.

It makes a noise every time a request is sent to Google.

That's the issue. I type the URL and press Enter.

I get sent to Google for no reason.

Firefox also has Safe Browsing and Pocket. How do these differ from what Chrome is doing?

Safe Browsing checks against a local database. It doesn't leak the URLs of pages you visit.

Pocket doesn't do that either.
