Yes, but the bad stuff is that 1: it does not ask me, 2: I leave the PC on overnight
and _every time_ that connection is there in the morning (so after many hours of non use).
If there are a million Firefoxes, then that should mean their http server holds a million
connects!
Point 3 is that it camouflages, it uses 'google' while it really is a Hollywood
slave company making money looking for copyright violations.
It takes only a few packets to send your 'history', encrypted if must be.
4 is, that after I killed it (with the firewall the first one), immediately next day it
tried an other one of those IP addresses... So maybe they try them all.
And NO message!!!
So by all means it is an undercover under false flag Trojan, open source or not.
Sure CIA NSA and others will push for browsers with a feature like that,
but think, maybe all that is needed is some code from them to dump all you
did in the last 90 days.
It NEVER asked me for permission to activate (and explain why).
