It wakes up from being killed on android to update it's adblock list (I assume). Caught it on Wireshark transmitting mostly encrypted traffic.
It's fine on desktop, but don't delude yourself that you'll get more privacy out of this than you would out of Firefox/IceCat/Librefox/TorBrowser. So if you're ok with using a Blink browser then there's nothing wrong with this shit outside of having an absolute dogshit adblocker instead of uBlockOrigin.

You can, what's your point? Defaults matter because they're unnecessary bloat. Just like how Firefox is full of telemetry by default.

Firefox and Icecat both have shitty defaults, worse than Brave, Librefox needs to be install on top of Firefox and Tor isn't for general use

It's pretty much spyware and adware.

How?

This is why Fennec F-droid and IceCat Mobile exist.

The article itself tells you how you can disable all of the features they've singled out as "spyware". It's pretty much a lack of reading comprehension.

Their desktop client is basically chrome now. You can install Chrome addons.
As for their mobile client, you can't install shit on it. Their mobile browser is utter garbage, but it's the second best android browser after Lightning which really says something about the state of android browsers.
>Fennec F-droid and IceCat Mobile
They're 4 times slower than webview. The only thing they're useful for is uBO/uMatrix and Tor.
