Ever started Wireshark and then loaded Firefox? Don't open any
external pages, just load it.
It connects to over a dozen sites, and worse, maintains
several connections. My /etc/hosts file looks like a shopping list.
And that is with "safebrowsing" , geolocation , prefetch and
all other "excuses" turned off.

For the last 20+ weeks. Always a regression or backdoor "that
allows a remote attacker to gain control of your machine when visiting
a specially crafted page".

The etherape app is a cool quick-n-dirty way to look at net connections and
activity. On this Debian box, Chromium with DuckDuckGo seems fairly light,
while Firefox sets the display on fire (loading a buncha ads) and then calms
down.
Right now watching the connection to SomaFM beating like a heart.
F'up set.
