On my next phone, Google Chrome will be permanently disabled. Will install Firefox first thing.

FF is one of a few browsers on Monroe l mobile that support plugins (the list is too small, but you can I install plugins outside of there curated list). So, that's even better.

No, your area, you live here right? The hot singles are in "Yourcity, TheState, Unites Steaks of Examples, 12345". We know because we saw your activity. /s

Going to suspect that Arc browser has similar settings. Based on viewing Preferences > General > Manage: [Privacy and Security]
