What's odd is that the Hallmark channel started showing a week-long Love Bug
marathon this week, and MrsBlue and I just watched the first one last night. Of
course so close to the passing of Katherine Hepburn, we are sure to hear some of
that "they go in threes" stuff, but I don't imagine that that theory
stands up to much scientific examination.

They have an extra feature that you can turn off that's called PageRank. When you go to install it, they explicitly describe what it does. Basically, PageRank is what they use to rank their search results. And if you want, you can have the toolbar automatically lookup the PageRank for the page you are viewing. Obviously, doing a lookup sends them the URL you are looking up, just like doing a search sends them the search word you are using.
If you don't want it, then leave it off. You can even get a version that doesn't even have it as a part of the toolbar. It takes about 3 clicks to turn it off if you do have it on.
I don't find it too particularly useful, but I do find it interesting to look at the PageRank for the sites I usually frequent. Guess what Blue's is ranked.
