It's no coincidence that Google Chrome lacks Firefox's feature to clear all cookies and data when you close the browser. They want to be able to track you across every internet site you go to using their AdSense network. Microsoft is joining in on this Orwellian practice too. The smart people of tech are already ditching the big corporate platforms for the likes of Firefox, Minds dot com (not Facebook or Twitter), DuckDuckGo (not Google), Linux (not Mac, Win or ChromeOS), etc. They still have plenty of suckers to keep them rich though. @Bro_Topian

Chrome has settings under privacy where you can clear data on browser close (called "Keep local data until I quit my browser") -
@thoxx and you literally believed that it's entirely cleared? ...I don;t think so cus i downloaded my entire history record on google(https://takeout.google.com/settings...) recently and most of my cache related data of websites visited are there.

bioDan56226yJust downloaded and tried it.
It is useful for a react & redux web-app which is what we are building at work.
Thanks for the tip! ++ -
Quantum doesn't have telemetry always on and cannot be disabled?
Correct me if I'm wrong -
@shelladdicted most browsers forces telemetry just for improvements on new updates, and for quantum you can disable it though a bit technical. See steps here (At Step 2)>> https://makeuseof.com/tag/...

@shelladdicted The newer quantum have telemetry's telemetry which is hard to disable (and should only send the telemetry status).
The developer versions on the other hand, have (if I remember correctly) have enforced regular telemetry -
@sbiewald yes, that's why i switched back to standard firefox.
You can still disable it on quantum.
But i don't like the idea that mozilla made this feature more "complex" to disable on purpose. -

It doesn't matter what I "believe". You wrote Chrome lacks the feature and not "I do not trust Google".
