   Since I have a cheap prepaid phone/data SIM I want to use it as little   
   as possible. Why would I worry about google turning anything off?   
      
   Although Firefox (linux, not android) does close tabs of its own   
   volition now and again.  So does chrome.  Android seems to turn   
   'location' off every once in a while, but if I need to have it on I'll   
   notice that.
