Anyway, I do agree with you concerning the statistics gathering nature of this. I don't care to have my browsing habits examined either... (Dull and boring, that's me. But it's MY dull and boring... LOL)
I hear you - Malware by definition is enabled by default, but my personal definition goes a bit further to include any data gathering. I can bet you that you won't be able to run Firefox without Google enticing you to flip the switch - and many will I assume, so I still call it Malware.
