Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser

Well, if the URL is "httpS" then the communication is connection based. The  
browser can just drop the connection (without handshake) and the server keeps  
the connection open till it times out. This (keeping a dead connection open)  
can put a small burden on the server, cumulatively, i.e. if every client just  
drops line wthout a "bye". Qupzilla seems to be playing nice. Just guessing.  
Looking at the payload of outbound and inbound packets could reveal it.

But anyway since packet exchange occurs with currently opened site only, that  
means it is not related to spying (privacy).
