if you get problems for clicking a unknown link leading to cp, you should never ever click a tinyurl. Pure clicking on links cannot be a crime, because of redirects, iframes, img src (even to non-images), etc.
The idea is, to predict what you will click on and use the time where you are idle (i.e. reading) and have a lot of unused bandwidth to have prefetched something when your bandwidth is used by loading other stuff of the site. So it's not too stupid, if you know it and if you want it and if it works in a reasonable way.
speed does not disappoint to much. But the trust is broken again and again. If you do not configure A LOT, they send much data to different entities, before you even use it. For example generating an unique key and sending it to google to receive encrypted phishing-blacklists. sending telemetry to mozilla. Requesting advertisment tiles. and so on.
request sounds a lot like http request in this context... and i guess even if no request is sent, the http-server will log the "request", just not as 200, but timeout and with size=0
today it's more true than ever. java scaled with your ram. today a single java program eats 1 GB RAM, where it ate 20 when 64 MB were the norm for your computer.
Yeah, that's kind of the point. Microsoft has always put a lot of the MSIE code into system libraries, which lead to the "the IE cannot be seperated from windows" claim. On the other hand they now claim "we cannot update the IE on older windows". Which both is kind of an architecture problem. Mozilla and Google never had a chance to put their features into system libraries, so they made portable browsers. And they were better and faster than the IE in these times. Now IE and Edge catched up, but they are not that much faster because of this tight integration. I do not know the exact performance numbers, as they change from release to release, but all modern browsers are very fast compared to old versions. I even laugh a bit at each "Browser X now even faster due to new JS engine feature" news, thinking have they done so much wrong all the time before, or is it just getting blazing fast now? Can we get updates which bring 2-3 times the former speed every few months? Anyway, a browser can be programmed to portable, even in an appdir on an usb stick.
Yandex and Bing are the main contributors, then an own crawler (trying to build up a search engine) and specialized engines like wikipedia, a definition dictionary, wolfram alpha, etc.
At least in the german privacy terms for win10, they reserve the right to access your private stuff and give it to others. Of course there follows some "if we believe, that..." terms, but with weasel words like "to prevent damage to microsoft and/or its partners or loss of profit" and such things.
Why always the some only one issue with one distribution as argument? Even Windows XP does more in the default install (look at what windows update transfers about the details of your pc). Maybe you just try to search at least one argument?
Tipp: Look at firefox. It sends a lot more to quite a few different companies in the default install. i.e. your typing in the search box before you even hit enter. hashed urls to prevent phishing. loading ads in the newtab page. Sending mozilla details about your pc and installed addons....
And it's the default browser for many Linux distributions.
So do not use "Linux", but use "Xubuntu" (or whatever somebody recommends to you). To look though a list of 100 distributions is a privilege, not a duty.
If somebody has no good business models (which means, the user think it's worth it), he will vanish. If somebody can motivate the user to whitelist the ads, it may stay. If somebody can make money otherwise, it's the best. Some may try to ask for donations, which works better than you would think. Or somebody could just host his stuff on own cost. Because it's fun.
There is no need to discuss "when you block ads, the free web will be gone". Start doing so (many did) and wait, the market will tell us. Both parts (websites, users) are able to move as needed, there is no predefined desirable goal for all, but stuff you think it's worth to do something (help, pay, look at ads) and stuff where you do not think so.
By the way: Whitelisting is bullshit. Only clicks bring money and seriously, will you click on ads, if you whitelisted them? If you do, you should not have had an adblocker, if you just whitelist because you're asked to, you are probably too smart for it.

Its a matter of lists you added. ublock has some choice per default, where you just need to make checkmarks.
Its a matter of attitude and trust. The feature is the opposite of what the addon is meant to do. They take money from the advertisers, who want into the list. And the checkbox is checked by default. Enough reasons for adblock edge (same as plus, just without this BS) or ublock (faster than both)
For example i stopped writing reviews for android apps, when it was not possible with google account anymore (your appstore login anyway), but needed a google+ account.

Hahaha, like data retention and a copyright law allowing Abmahnungen (Lawyers are allowed to threaten you with a trial to pay a fee to them to avoid getting sued). Sorry, our law is weird, too.

somebody should take gecko and some of the code and make a minimal browser. With addons. Like Phoenix.

why? Seems to work good for them without buying it.
4. made the mistake to start eclipse

It seems more, like google android was the breakthrough for mobile java.

So how do google and mozilla do this?
And like 10 different styles of context menus. Lost the URL, somebody collected screenshots of different menu appearances.
From 8.1, yes. Evolution to some better UI and worse privacy problems.
From 7 ists like 8 and 8.1, just everything good thrown away to replace it with some utter shit.

So, turn it off.

where is your problem? You speak it like you write it.
So do not use "Linux", but use "Xubuntu" (or whatever somebody recommends to you). To look though a list of 100 distributions is a privilege, not a duty.
simple.
Block all ads.
Let it sort out themself.
If somebody has no good business models (which means, the user think it's worth it), he will vanish.
If somebody can motivate the user to whitelist the ads, it may stay.
If somebody can make money otherwise, it's the best.
Some may try to ask for donations, which works better than you would think.
Or somebody could just host his stuff on own cost. Because it's fun.

here you went retard. Its a matter of lists you added. ublock has some choice per default, where you just need to make checkmarks.

Google Authenticator for the win. Even the pebble supports it.
Google+ != Google Account.
For example i stopped writing reviews for android apps, when it was not possible with google account anymore (your appstore login anyway), but needed a google+ account.
please read the thread instead of flaming.

And that's the stupid reaction.
