> Seems like lots of FUD; how do Firefox Hello, Pocket and Geolocation "leak data about you" if you don't explicitly use them? How do DRM and Reader mode leak data at all?

You really don't expect much from your browser at this point any more, do you?

I want a browser that connects only to the website I asked it to display and let me configure how any (ANY) third party connection will be handled.

I shouldn't have to use lynx for that.

You can just use uMatrix or Policeman.
Then point is, we just used Firefox for this before. Now we're becoming a niche market. That change should be terrifying to more than just me.
