Thanks for all the responses but no one has pointed me to a solution where bitcoin was back in the old days.
I tried electrum too it does the same thing! I tried googling how to disable it, but mine doesn't have the option or I'm just having a hard time?
Like I said, in my case my privacy is not being increased.. you can literally see on the blockchain where my funds are moving around to.. and then where they end up anyway..
So far this feature hasn't increased privacy, only fees.
I should at least be able to disable this non sense!!
