[Pagerankstatus] Pagerankstatus: feedback from jgamleus

[notes at mozdev.org]

Nice feature but the following info in Mozdev's Googlebar options looks quite impressive (I already suspect the CIA behind G-Mail and the whole G-thing)

"In order to display pagerank values for a site, it's important to remember that the extension must get them from somewhere, and since the formula is so complex, this is usually from Google inc, via a script hosted on a third-party server. However, this means that whenever you visit any web page, the only way Pagerank can be displayed is by sending (along with your IP address) the URL of each and every web page you visit. The sites that these scripts are hosted on are both, as of this writing, separate from both the Googlebar project and Google itself, and so this means that is you choose to use these extensions, a third party will be given in essence a complete copy of your browsing history."

As someone posted before, it is quite a privacy issue.

Therefore:
1. How to uninstall PageRank in Mozilla?
2. If I click on the PageRank display in a browser and it turns to "PageRank DISABLED", does this actually mean that no information about our browsing is sent to Google or any other party?

Thank you.
