Every time my Jolla 1 comes across an open wifi network, it connects to it (I like this, I think I might have made it do it, don't remember)

Sometimes these networks are open, sometime they have a login/terms page before you can access the open internet. Sailfish detects these pages by requesting http://ipv4.jolla.com/return_204 as soon as it connects to a wifi network. If that request does not result in the expected response from jolla.com, it's probably a login page and the default browser is opened to show that page. Which is annoying, a security risk, a privacy issue, etc.

When I drive across town, my apps check mail/IM/traffic (over a secure connection) whenever they can, but the OS also opens loads of browser tabs every time it encounters a login page, interrupting whatever I was doing. And every time I lose wifi signal at home, the guest login page of my neighbors network is opened.

Is there way to disable the check for http://ipv4.jolla.com/return_204? Or at the very least to stop it from constantly opening the browser? I don't even use the default browser, so maybe disabling that browse would be an option for me (although not very nice).
