Not calling home to google on about:blank, possible? #5

Thank you very much for creating that nice project! It is very valuable for users of Windows 2003, Windows XP, and also for the ReactOS project! I tried to boost the popularity of your project a bit by https://github.com/reactos/rapps-db/pull/202

A request for the start: Given that the user set up about:blank as default homepage. If I do open the browser, I can see via netstat -abn that it seeks contact to some legitimate google servers. What does the browser try to obtain from there? Can we turn that off? (the official Google Chromium sources M49.0.2623.112 does behave the very same!)

you mean Google safebrowsing?

JoachimHenze commented 1 year ago

I am not sure what it is. I first want to understand what it is, and then have an option (or a hardcode) to disable it. The definitionOfDone for this ticket is rather distinct: no initial network traffic when about:blank is set up as the start-page and the browser is just launched (the user has not interacted yet with the omnibox at this point).

Google Spy Browser AD www.google-analytics.com 2542116.fls.doubleclick.net googleads.g.doubleclick.net static.doubleclick.net www.googletagmanager.com maybe AD safebrowsing.google.com alt2-safebrowsing.google.com

No AD(Safe) r3---sn-j5o7dn7z.gvt1.com、redirector.gvt1.com and google.com - Possibly downloading language packs、Dictionaries and updating extensions https://github.com/Alex313031/chromium-xp/blob/3252452337a619b72f7d71f0bd754eb57555755e/infra/default_apps/external_extensions.json#L27

Great, now let's get rid of that. :D

@Alex313031 maybe you can have a look later at what win32ss did in the 3 commits that I linked here https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/discussions/402#discussioncomment-8921808 Maybe the same could be done for your Chromium-XP 49 later?
