Do you seriously believe that your IP is private?

Do you know every site that has received your ip address?

I think the honest answer to both of these questions has to be no.

Throw that to disk for me so I can map where you are, where you go, when your machine is up and how often your search indexing runs.

I think the idea is that it is a way for your IP address to leak without a user-initiated request.

I could send you a QR code that I've setup specifically to get your IP address.
