I don't understand, why is that a bad thing? Maybe it might be an issue if you're trying to do something anonymously (but at that point, you shouldn't be using your regular machine anyway).

It's rather unexpected. Browsers carry so much baggage that you need a private mode, I wouldn't have expected something like ssh to have this sort of problem before I read about how it exposes your keys.

It's not, it's a "public" key.

It's not a problem from security perspective. It is a problem from privacy perspective.

[illumen → Drdrdrq]

Privacy is security.

[illumen → illumen]

"Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm."

"Privacy: a secret matter."

"Privacy: freedom from unauthorized intrusion."

"Privacy: the quality or state of being apart from company or observation."

So you see, privacy IS security.

I can't tell if you forgot /s?

Not just any public key, it's your public key. It identifies you.
