Anyone else concerned about the data collected on your phone via the browser? (as well as all the permissions you have to grant the app and what it has access to)
Looking for suggestions on an Android (CM7x_nightly93) browser that would be similar to Chrome Iron made by SRWare (link below).
OR
Suggestions on what options I can select to limit my exposure? (other than checking the mock GPS)
I grabbed xScope and DolphinHD but haven't used as I am not crazy about granting the permissions. Thought better to first see what XDA might uncover.
TIA

Go to srware DOT net for more info on Chrome Iron:

You can turn off google's data thing, in privacy, in settings, and geolocation can be turned off in the browser. This isn't like Apple, where they secretly take your info, Google lets you opt out during the initial setup, after you boot the ROM...It ask if you allow them to collect information. Don't worry about the permissions, they're needed for some of the features of the browser...I've used dolphin and scope in the past and they don't do anything in the background, I prefer the browser in MIUI though, it has a sleek UI.
