    No, your area, you live here right? The hot singles are in “Yourcity, State”. We know because we saw your activity. /s

  On my next phone, Google Chrome will be permanently disabled. Will install Firefox first thing.

    You can use this to permanently delete chrome. I have done the same since I don’t trust the disabled option.

    FF is one of a few browsers on Monroe l mobile that support plugins (the list is too small, but you can I install plugins outside of there curated list). So, that’s even better.

  It just pop up in front of me few days ago, and then I immediately turned all the options off in the setting without any doubt…

  Luckily that it is not my most used web browser now.

  Going to suspect that Arc browser has similar settings. Based on viewing Preferences > General > Manage: [Privacy and Security]
