[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 892612, member: 69368"] Interesting, thanks for sharing. I've been aware of Firefox wanting to 'phone home' a lot for a number of years and have made a lot of about:config changes to restrict that, but I haven't looked seriously at how much they try to do behind the scenes for a while, so this is useful. As you say using something like ghacks settings or your own scripts does reduce it significantly from my experience. I get that they can learn from usage data to work out where improvements can be made but using Firefox 'out of the box' has increasingly become a scenario that I want to avoid as time goes by. Ungoogled Chrome might be something I investigate further after seeing this, but only after reading up on it! [/QUOTE]
