Just the Browser

How would you like to get rid of telemetry, AI, etc. from Firefox, Chrome, or Edge? Here's a bit of info about it:

I'll give it a try. Hope I don't lose passwords and bookmarks. 

[Bigguy]

Seems to run fine right now. I'll give it a run and see what happens.

[Bigguy]

No settings for it or anything so I guess it's workin.

[Skhilled]

There are no "settings" However, you can verify it or uninstall it by following the instructions here:

I'll keep it for now. Added protection is good protection.

My only issue with FF is telemetry. I love the sync with other devices. I can see my tabs, etc. on all of my synced devices.

I heard recently FF is gonna be diving in heavy to the AI crap. If that happens, I'm out. Won't use it if that happens. 

My only issue with FF is telemetry.

That can all be turned off I think. Might be a few plugins around to assist in that. Not sure though. 

[Skhilled]

Just The Browser does it. 

That's also why LibreWolf browser forked FF.

However, LibreWolf runs slower on my PC than other browsers for some reason...

[Bigguy]

These days even with regular everyday browsing, ya gotta be careful.

runs slower on my PC

Using more resources probably. Check out your task manager when you use it and see what's goin on under the processes tab.

[Skhilled]

I've been meaning to do that but haven't. Actually, I uninstalled it. I'll probably give it a try again at some point.

[Bigguy]

Right click on your start button and go to task manager and then to the processes tab.   that should tell ya enough of what ya need to know. 

[Skhilled]

Yeah, I know. I was just in the Task Manager earlier for something else.
