Nor does browsing your site with MSIE or Netscape.  My browsing habits go nowhere.

If there's a specific concern, then by all means, warn against that.  I
don't see that as any different than, say, a battered women's shelter
warning against using their home phone to call.

In general, user privacy should be as much of a concern to you as it is
to them (says the guy without a library).
