[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 939003, member: 91306"] As suggested earlier in this thread by CS, browser extensions may be the bigger privacy and security concern. The well known and reputable Privacy Badger extension, for example, imposes a rather large footprint in my Ungoogled-Chromium Apparmor profile, with a lot of "write" permissions too: [code] owner
