[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 846124, member: 57233"] Shocking news! The web browsers are using the internet! Reason why Firefox contacts these things are: - Internal main program updating mechanism - Addons updating mechanism - Syncing mechanism - Telemetry mechanisms - Study mechanisms - Crash reporting mechanisms - Google SafeBrowsing as part of anti-phishing - Search engine updating mechanism Just listing domains is a stupid methodology if you don't tell what and why it is the way it is. Also seemingly showing like some obscure browser I've never heard of (Midori) is the best ##### just because it has absolutely no features at all. Also, where is Opera? Majority of features listed above can be disabled in Firefox to a point where only internal main program updater remains active. Everything else can be disabled or just not being used. Good luck doing that with Chrome, the most popular browser in the world used by 80% of all internet users which is not even tested here. Btw, a lot of things Brave does is also used to further anonymize you. For example Brave acts like a proxy for SafeBrowsing requests from Google as well as for Spellchecking. [/QUOTE]
