I just paste and then copy whatever i need into the address bar of any browser and its good to go. Unless its very long.
There is a good chance that whatever you are pasting is being sent to Google.
Im using safari and more recently opera, but since that is chinese now, im guessing this isnt much better :D
Huge chance. No question.
I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo. But I do agree that Google is so pervasive in the browser space that pasting text to the URL bar without further context can be reasonably understood in most instances, as sending data to Google.
