Bro recommend disable @MetaMask 's feature for more privacy.

Now, when I go diggin, Metamask actually stores a lot of our data, really.

I'm not sure about the technical aspect, but I think many people might want to disable the default option to increase privacy.

✅ We use it every day, so no need to panic though.

You can reduce permissions as follows:

Go to Metamask > Settings & Privacy > Privacy.

The top one, Phishing detection, seems like it can be left on.

Turn off all the additional options:

  • Show balance and token price checker

  • Show incoming transactions

  • Autodetect tokens

  • Batch account balance requests

  • Participate in Metametrics

✅ It's used every day, so no need to panic, huh.

  • Not sure where data is stored exactly.

  • How much does closing things help?
