disable aaaaaaaaaallll that shit

@Viss I switched to @Waterfox a couple of weeks ago & no regrets.

(updated to link to profile)

@alexskunz ive been sorta test driving vivaldi, but its built on chrome and chrome does a bunch of really dumb stuff with regards to proxy settings and some other stuff. and its got a UI glitch where horizontal scrolling of the tabs has this bizarre rubber bandig effect that makes it insufferable, so im hoping they fix that so i can try again. ive seen folks also suggest librefox too, but librefox has the same telemetry defaults that need shutting off

@Viss I'm not a fan of anything that's hitched to Google myself.

I'd be surprised if any of the telemetry stuff was actually live in LibreWolf, I think that would be a huge oversight.

Waterfox has none of it enabled: https://www.waterfox.com/#why-waterfox
