Epiphany also doesn't allows to edit preset of search engine. All in all I have bounch of tabs open and watched behavior of firefox and it does not establishes any kind of connections while sitting idle. Only on load page it contacts site and that's it. No snooping to other sites or anything like that. Perhaps OP watched behavior when accessing some sites that link to google/amazon ads??
