Is this browser expecting me to use TOR? Welcome and extensions pages on new tab pages wants me to go to http://www.9oo91e.qjz9zk/ http://www.9oo91e.qjz9zk/ domain. I'm not finding anything about that in repo readme page. This looks odd and suspicious. Because it's even blocks requests there -> http://imgur.com/a/UnMu8 http://imgur.com/a/UnMu8

That isn't a tor URL. I assume it's simply a lazy way of stopping requests to google services by replacing the domains with invalid ones. Edit: see https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/8dd86477d78df6e1b136374851920d493e3e974b/resources/common/domain_regex_list https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/8dd86477d...

  Yes, it is a lazy way of stopping requests. I also modified Iridium's "trk" scheme code to pick up domains ending in qjz9zk so I can notify the user.

    Does qjz9zk have any significance? It seems a little elaborate for a fake domain :)

      It seems like the developer mashed the keyboard.

    Could probably make use of the .invalid TLD for this. Should definitely result in less confusion, and it provides something a bit more searchable if people are concerned - doubleclick([A-Za-z\-]*)\.net#60u613cl1c4\1.qjz9zk + doubleclick([A-Za-z\-]*)\.net#doubleclick\1.g.invalid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid
