I noticed right after installation, many google services were installed and used.

There were stuff like 'content decryption', so i was curious to know what they could be?

Hi maya.nk1, I don't know whether anyone could list all the code and all the services related to Google. Before they built Chrome, Google was a major contributor to development of Firefox. Today, Google provides the SafeBrowsing service behind the phishing and malware protection features, and its location data is used if you give sites permission to access your precise location.

Was there some particular setting, URL, or other reference you had a question about?
