New browser for IGI/FamilySearch?

I always avoid Chrome because of the enormous amount of data it ships off to Google. Their stuff is extremely intrusive. An acquaintance was surprised to discover how much his Android phone had logged about his weekend away. It had told Google which hotel he stayed in, which restaurants he had visited, and how long he had spent there, just so that they could plague him with ads for similar places.

Worse than Facebook for gathering Data!!

That's the only way I know where I've been and what I did.

That will be something to do with geolocation (or whatever its called) being enabled with mobile internet enabled, which is one of the reasons I keep mobile internet disabled unless I want to look up something.   Yes I can be placed in an immediate location relating to which transmitter my phone connects to but its not as intrusive.

Topic locked as it's going off in a direction discussing ads as a result of browser choice, and even choice of mobile phones. Yikes.

RootsChat is free to use, but it's not free to run. We don't get any hand-outs to run the site, and are only funded by ads. So please, we would appreciate it to avoid discussing these, as we see a substantial loss of revenue each time this happens. This puts the future of the site in the balance, despite our best efforts.

We enjoy running the site for you, and hope you enjoy using it.

Thanks
