    You can download ungoogled chromium builds here, but using Firefox is much smarter.

      Wasn’t it also baked in Chromium? I thought there was a derived browser that disabled this feature in Chromium.

    I had a firefox extension that randomly surfed around the web, making a complete pile of unrelated garbage out of one’s browsing history, for circumstances like this.

        I would run it when I was AFK, cuz it was so annoying to see all the trash created. And stopped using it pretty quickly.

    As far as I can see you can easily disable this in the settings? Or am I missing something?
