I do not know what regulations apply. But meanwhile all major US companies follow
EU regulations - in general even worldwide. So maybe this is all irrelevant
for you - but maybe not.

Please re-read. It is not about the content.
The website defines no privacy policy which is against EU regulations.
Please provide any source for this requirement that applies to
libvirt.org. That site has only static pages, it doesn't collect any
personal data and based on my quick search the requirement for privacy
policy is when you do collect personal data which is not our case.

Again - not to the point. For two reasons:
1. Sometimes I am desperate enough to use Google Search - but I want do decide myself
when I want to.
2. the EU regulations request I am asked BEFORE the connection to google starts.
Otherwise
Google already learns something about me (it learns that I am interested in libvirt).
I believe renaming the button to "search local Doc using Google" should be
sufficient. But then
again - I am not a lawyer.
Agreed that having a button that redirects to google is not a good user
experience. But if you claim that it is required by EU regulation to
notify user before redirecting to some other website please provide us
with any relevant source information to support that claim.
