Google is becoming Microsoft where they want to take pictures of your screen. Absolutely never. Switch to Graphenos immediately for mobile.

What the fuck is this, if you hold the home button on android it now enters a special search mode that refuses to let you run a search without sending your whole screen along with the search. And it is rather difficult to even get it to not do it. There is an "x" to leave, but if you miss that touch target it assumes you are highlighting some part of your screen you want to focus the search on and send the whole thing. My background image and things I keep on my homepage are not public data, fuck off Google
