where would SM be on that list? sizeof.cat/post/web-browser-telemetry-2025-edition

0 telemetry but safebrowsing lists and some other stuff is fetched.

good to know : )

firefox is plain awful these days. Good thing SM still keeps it real. I've been along all the way. From the "Browsing the web has never been so Suite!" days till now

Believe that slogan is from very early 2000

OK, there is an annoying feature with that site

if you switch to another tab, it changes its tab icon and title to pretend to be something else, like Twitter, Facebook or Tiktok

I *hate* that

it's completely misleading

if it is using it as a sort of anonymization feature AKA "boss mode", knock it off, it's disturbing!

for a minute I thought some webjunk had evaded my DNS blocks as I saw a Facebook icon!

it also makes me lose trust on that side

yes, it's a part of minified JS

... boss mode, 4chan?

tomman: I didn't notice. Kind of funny imo
