It is passing the search string I submit via google to ecosia which I elaborated on a few posts after the initial one. It is logging all search traffic keywords and then serving related ads in a backdoor manner. It is not sitting on my desktop logging or anything like that. But it is breaching my privacy expecations with Google by logging my user submitted keystrokes and sending them to Ecosia for sure. What are they doing with that info?
I agree that logging search queries has severe privacy implications, but "tracking all data and keystrokes" is unnecessarily alarming. If this extension were tracking all data and keystrokes available to Chrome, the end user might spend the next week tracking down and securing online accounts, cancelling credit cards, informing clients of potential breaches of confidentiality, etc.
