[QUOTE="Prorootect, post: 851402, member: 905"] I've too a lot of traffic, which I can see live in Process Hacker/Network tab. Ex. I see many Remote Address domain 1e100.net connections ... it's Google or rather 1 googol and is related to google safe browsing (but not only...) feature in my browser. So in my browser I try Tools/Options/Security tab - here I've notched "Warn you..." , "Block dangerous and deceptive content" etc boxes of safe browsing. To look on the result I've unnotched these safe browsing boxes... to see. After doing that, I've restarted an website - and see the same amount of 1e100.net connections (about 7). Nothing to do, NO privacy, Google will be there.
