Where is the guarantee? Where is the certification?


Quite trying to trash Firefox by implying that it is doing something
unwanted. With Firefox you have complete control.


No, I am just curious how regular users could find out the truth. I just
handily picked Firefox as an example!

It is no secret what Fire fox does. Go to Options. Privacy and
Security. Check "Ask to Save logins and Passwords" While there go to
saved password and delete all saved passwords.

You will then have use the significantly more secure method of managing
your password with sticky note attached to your monitor.



I don't store passwords in browsers. But I was just wondering whether
browsers could be lying about privacy and security. Most users just
cannot find out, but to the trust the claims of those browsers.
