    Recently I been seeing messages about Google asks to save a password just after I finish entering it. It frustrates Me and I haven'tlooked in Settings yet to turn it off

    If the phone app is like the desktop version, when it asks to save your password, it should offer an option to never save your password for that site.

    Thanks, I didn't see any Option(s).
    I have been hittingthe Triangle Button on this phone to remove the Request.

    I figure everthing I enter becomes known by Googles staff.
    It is all Ed's fault for choosing a android phone over the Apple iPhone(s) because I AM CHEEP!!!!!

    When I had internet access for my Desktop system I used NoScript as a Add On for Firefox and never (hardlyever) Temporarily Allowed Google scripts OR Amazon (Cloudfront) scripts, unless the Page needed any of those things.

    When getting this phone I asked the Salesperson about putting Firefox and DuckDuckGo on the phone for me.

    A day or so later I put NoScript onto Firefox.
    I know it takes me much time before I see the Webpage but that's O.K. WITH ME

    On the desktop Sean mentioned using Ghostery, so I tried it but didn't see good results so took it off the desktop.
    I may have had to disable NoScript but didn't so that might be the cause of my trying out Ghostery to fail.

    These here Computers are strange things and have to have Their Way.
