I kind of worried about something like this when I saw they had a browser. The number of spam emails which have hit my systems which are 'Hey it's ur bank, click on this sus link', but the contact email address they sent it to isn't and is instead is hilarious. Thus, when such contact methods inevitably get sold, stolen, or lost, and used to try and spam, scam, or otherwise annoy me, I know exactly which company or service that contact information came from, and can cut it off (usually along with the service which failed to protect its contact information). Each one gets a unique email or other contact method for me (if I even deem it useful for them to have one at all).

In the same vein, I don't extend nontrackability to such places. There are no advantages and it opens up all kinds of vulnerabilities. There is, quite simply, no good reason to extend trust to a company or service. Even if they're bought out by someone else who is happy to do so. I don't sign up for them or, if I do, give them accurate personal information in the first place, so I don't have my personal information lost, sold, or stolen by those services. People complain about online services selling their data or being hacked and their data stolen. People complain about ads on the internet.
