So it’s actually Little Snitch that does all the heavy-lifting, I’m just the robot that is parsing the data.</p><p>All network traffic is routed through a VPN in Japan.</p></blockquote><p>I am shocked by Zen, Floorp, Edge. Unsurprised by chrome, although looking at the urls it talks to, it’s not super bad – it’s phishing site data etc. Safari is low, but still more than I expected and Kagi’s Orion and Tor Browser truly take the win with <strong>ZERO</strong>.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/arc/" target="_blank">#arc</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/browser/" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/chrome/" target="_blank">#chrome</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/edge/" target="_blank">#edge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/floorp/" target="_blank">#floorp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/kagi/" target="_blank">#kagi</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/microsoft/" target="_blank">#microsoft</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/microsoft-edge/" target="_blank">#microsoftEdge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/orion/" target="_blank">#orion</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/safari/" target="_blank">#safari</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/web-browser/" target="_blank">#webBrowser</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/zen/" target="_blank">#zen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://gurupanguji.com/tag/zen-browser/" target="_blank">#zenBrowser</a></p>
