Should I Disable WebSocket Connection on My Web Browser (in terms of privacy)?

Considering disabling WebSocket connections for security reasons. Any experience or thoughts? Have you disabled WebSockets? Any notable issues or performance changes?

    They probably have a fall back to long polling or similar.

    What privacy concerns do you want to address by disabling ws? It’s just another protocol that is more efficient for certain use cases. The information that can be sent via ws or normal http requests is the same, so from a privacy standpoint it doesn’t really make a difference.
