>It seems invalid because current version of Chromium doesn't do what that
bug describes.
It's a matter of trust. If you still trust them after something like that,
your trust is easy. Mine is very difficult.
If you believe it was an unintentional bug then I would go so far as to call
you gullible.
-----------------
As far the tcpdump test, I just did it and twice. Nothing showed up. Zero
(0). Firefox is pinging nothing, no background connection whatsoever.
Now, I do need to make it clear that I am one of those guys that prefer
spending 50 hours of their time if need be in order to make it right.
Several, and by several I mean a huge ton of modifications were applied in
about:config. The only addon installed is noscript. The version of the
browser is 57.0.4
You can see the connections it makes in about:networking too.
