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

I'm not proficient in this area. Anyone with additional knowledge is welcome to share. This is shared in case friends might want to have more privacy.

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

*   Not sure where data is stored exactly.
    
*   How much does closing things help?
