[resolved] Dolphin HD Sends URL Of Every Page You Visit To A Remote Server (androidpolice.com) 23 points by dudube 15y ago ↗ HN
[–] The_Sponge 15y ago ↗ It was an unfortunate (and terrible) bug, but you have to admit the Dolphin team's response has at least been open and efficient. [–] mtrimpe 15y ago ↗ Too bad they didn't know about bloom filters e.a.

[–] muro 15y ago ↗ The dolphin browser web page doesn't even say who creates it. Would you really trust it with your passwords and browsing history?
[–] woadwarrior01 15y ago ↗ Nothing new, The stumbleupon browser plugin has been doing this for years now :)
[–] itsnotvalid 15y ago ↗ Not mentioning even there is no security problem involved, we are talking mobile browsers here, if that doesn't actually make more traffic? Of course, instant search suggestion also does exactly that, so there is no big deal here.
[–] cmars 15y ago ↗ They've lost my trust. Switching to ff mobile. [–] muro 15y ago ↗ the built-in browser is also getting better with every release.
