Yes, swipe it away and be amazed how on reopen pages won't load. 😢

We got tricks for you:

1️⃣ Instead of swiping the app you use the ❎ Close option. The button appears if you enable "Delete browsing data on quit" in Settings. eg. keep only "Cached images and Files" toggled ON

2️⃣ *No joke* when the page loads and drags on, you just lock the screen. 🤷 On device unlock the page will load. 🎇

For a VPN, mullvad is the most frequently recommended.

An independent US consumer review non-profit said mullvad, IVPN, and mozilla (which is resold mullvad) were best, made reasonable claims, and had independent audits.

After lastpass messed up a compromise my work did a comparison between 1password and bitwarden, then thought both were good and but went with 1password for it's enterprise options. The people who did the review thought bitwarden was good too though.

And browsers are a world of hurt because they're all too complicated and expensive to maintain.

to turn off the ai chat stuff in firefox.
go into about:config
click through the warning
search for browser.ml.chat.enabled and set it to false.

Also seriously install ublock origin. if you can find the ublock configuration page and turn on the annoyances filters that can kills a bunch of cookie banners too.

And because of ublock origin, firefox or one of its' descendants is probably your best available browser options.
