Automatic sync - Bug?
Posted: 2016-11-28, 18:18
Upgraded to 27.0.1, then looked around in Options.
On the Sync tab there were some entries that I have not made, as I never set up sync. I don't want anything to do with it. Not even sure what it is good for, but my understanding is that it sends some data somewhere on the interwebs. So I was quite surprised to see that it was set up automatically, with all the options checked. Why did it happen? Is it a bug? Did it send my data somewhere? How can I chech what it did? Is there a way to unsend it?
UPDATE:
Looks like it has something to do with services.sync.enabled. When that is set to false, then the auto setup happnes, and sets it to true. I don't know if it does anything else, like send data.
