<p>Unlike Chrome/Chromium, Vanadium does not make connections not requested by
the app as part of providing the WebView implementation in the OS. If you
choose to use it as your browser, it performs similar connections as the ones
performed by the OS above. It does not send any identifying information to
servers, etc. but rather fetches some static assets like dictionaries when
triggered by usage of the app. We're working on eliminating everything
unnecessary and making our servers the default for handling anything that
cannot simply be shipped with Vanadium for one reason or another such as
requiring quicker updates.</p>
<p>Unlike Chrome/Chromium, Vanadium WebView does not make connections beyond
those initiated by the app using it so there are no default connections from
apps using the WebView.</p>
<p>Vanadium browser uses <code>update.vanadium.app</code> to check for updates
to components providing revoked certificates and other data. It downloads the
components from <code>dl.vanadium.app</code>. Other connections are initiated
by the user such as the search engine (defaults to DuckDuckGo), websites and
retrieving favicons for your bookmarks and the frequent sites shown on the
home page. We enable connection and cache partitioning to keep connections
separate between different sites. There are a few parts of state partitioning
still being implemented including cookie partitioning which is currently in
the testing phase but causes too many compatibility issues to fully deploy it
by default without any exceptions like Brave's heuristics to disable it for
cross-site login flows, etc.</p>
