No, certain browsers typically make lots of
connections like this:
Chromium, for example, but Vivaldi is worse.
Yes, but the key question is *why* are
they makling these connections. If they are sending your
private data somewhere that of course is be bad. But if they are fetching data actually
used to
improve privacy? Modern pbrowser provide tracking protection, dangerous site protection,
ad
blocking - they need to get the data required to get this right from somewhere. So, to me
the
fact that a browser is making connections to various web servers doesn't really tell
me anything
about its security or privacy practices.
I did try out Icecat. This one is truly for the masochists. If I want a browser where
nothing
works because of privacy concerns I go with Tor. It was however interesting to try out
something
new, if only for 10 minutes.
