One of the founders of the original Firefox is not happy about this and has suggested that users switch to Bing:
Asa Dotzler: Firefox and more: if you have nothing to hide...

I smell a rat and think MS is somehow involved here as per MarkJ's earlier comment in the other thread.

I haven't seen any comments addressing Schmidt's reference to the Patriot Act, and it has struck me as odd.

I think he was trying to be honest and upfront about their legal obligations but delivered it badly.

I guess it comes down to this, of MS and Google who is lesser evil. It has to be Google until they do something to make us not trust them. I think Google could do with not innovating for a few months and keeping out of the press.
