Can RustDesk's telemetry be disabled? Collecting user device information, session duration, and other telemetry data seems unnecessary for a remote desktop application. Users should have the option to disable all telemetry and they should be disabled by default.

History Leak of Chromium Browsers (leminal.space)
 

cross-posted from: https://leminal.space/post/35928968

A reminder for those using chromium based browsers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Firefox can keep visited links purple and does not allow any website to know whether a link is purple or has been visited.

If “Partition the Visited Link Database, including ‘self-links’” is enabled, Chrome cannot keep visited links purple globally.

If “Partition the Visited Link Database, including ‘self-links’” is disabled, Chrome keeps visited links purple globally, but websites can sniff CSS and determine which links you have visited.

From this perspective firefox seems like a better choice.
