Can I stop having everything "suggested" at me?

I know what I'm doing with my computer, thanks. I don't need "suggestions" and "recommendations" shoved down my throat because tech literacy has slipped so far backwards.



With Firefox generally, no means no. You can disable something and it won't pester you about it. So I don't think this counts as throat-shoving.

While Chrome periodically asks the user to be set as default browser with no option to disable this behavior, because no means "try again" with Chrome.


You can’t disable updates or phoning home in Firefox. No means “just a little.”
