Debian shares all of my web or visits and searches with... whom, exactly? And I have to disable this on every update? Really?

I thought it was just what packages you installed though, not sure about web visits, that sounds more like Ubuntu itself maybe?

Debians popcon (Popularity Contest) which tracked package installs was always opt-in as far as I can remember.

Ubuntu sent Unity dash searches to the web (with an opt-out) for a few releases, but that is back to opt-in now thankfully. As far as I know Ubuntu never tracked any other web traffic.
