In this case you can also consider url history as a privacy problem too, and even better : favorites, and disable it when predictive service is OFF. Because when it's OFF, you can check favorites in the favorites bar, you can also check the history. So, why disabling OFFLINE suggestions should be any better for our privacy when every single private data (favorites, history) can be checked elsewhere ?
the only privacy problem that I see is to force people to activate predictive service to be able to see OFFLINE suggestions...this is as bad as Microsoft disabling search fonctionnality in Windows if you uncheck bing (which hopefully is NOT true).
offline suggestions are a FEATURE, not a bug, very handy to type faster in the url bar
please, at least, let people CHOOSE. Offline suggestions and online predictions are two different features and should NOT be enabled/disabled with only one option.
Well we will restore the change in the next version.It is much easier to delete code than add code.
