 Considering the continuous invasive "privacy respecting" of Mozilla
 corporation and its ties with Google and other companies, it is time to
 consider moving away from Firefox and switching to a truly privacy
 respecting one.

 Unlike Firefox ungoogled-chromium makes ZERO background and ZERO
 unsolicited connections. It is also very easy to set up a tor proxy and
 use it with ungoogled-chromium. The only thing it lacks is the reset-
 identity functionality and the use of separate Tor circuits/IPs for
 different sites.
