I know that regardless of what we do with storing data, everyone here agrees we need to be totally transparent about it. For the record, we don't have any real information on your browsing history, just your DNS history; subtle but important difference. Thanks for your comments and glad you're liking it. It's only going to improve. Thanks for the constructive feedback. I know that regardless of what we do with storing data, everyone here agrees we need to be totally transparent about it.
