 > The reason the Omnibox was redesigned is the Omnibox API riding the
 trains to Firefox 52 which has privacy implications and may be worth

 This API is for WebExtensions, which means there should be no privacy
 implications unless someone installs an add-on that they do not trust
 (something we definitely do not recommend).
