Just lovely, when you think you found a browser that works decently and cares about privacy...

Just use Firefox, it's always been the best out of them for Privacy

I switched to Firefox 6 months ago and it's working much better than Chromium for me, I do have some minor complaints but for the most part it's been equivalent or better.

However I can't seem to turn off the telemetry at all...

thanks for the link, there were a few options in about:config that I hadn't set to false

although even after going through all those Firefox says Telemetry is collecting release data and upload is disabled. so even if it's not being sent it appears that it's still being collected. (about:telemetry)

maybe it will change after reboot, I will edit later if that's the case.
