I have all Firefox Data Collection and Use options disabled.
Anyone know what all of these services are doing? I assume they're for auto updates, account sync, and maybe pushing Pocket ads and/or sponsored pins?
Likely, I'll block most, but curious if anyone knew.
Looked up 2 of them, seems like they are settings and files, stored on Googles servers, but encrypted by the time it reaches Google.
Short of someone with a quantum computer, I doubt anyone will decrypt them, along with the billions of other user files out there. Suffice to say, don’t store/link anything sensitive if you’re worried.
Blocking might just break features, but be wary to see what’s broken based on what’s disabled and see if it can just be manually disabled in settings first.
You don't need a quantum computer, all you need is mitmproxy and some free time to set it up, and you can spy on the encrypted content of all your browser traffic.
