Just wondering if I can somehow track if all that data was used by a particular add-on or tab or what.

Historically I’ve been using about .5gb every month, I haven’t done anything different today but here we are. What can I do to find out what happened and prevent the same scenario?

    Yeah that’s how I zeroed in on Firefox. I could not find out how to restrict an app’s usage without cutting it altogether.

    Any way to cap it on a daily basis? That would easily have caught my attention yesterday, and wouldn’t hinder regular usage whatsoever.

      Think it depends what phone you have, on my pixel I can select to disable background data usage in individual apps, which will prevent it doing anything on it’s own in the background I’m not aware of

        Right,I have a pixel too and I can do that. Whatever happened yesterday was counted towards foreground though. So 🤷
