I would use firefox, but youtube is basically unusable on it. No idea why, but it is so much better on chrome

The feature isn’t even mentioned in Mozilla’s data protection policies. The only way for users to turn it off is to find the opt-out function in a sub-menu of the browser’s settings.

Irritatingly, a Mozilla developer justifies the move by claiming that users can’t make an informed decision.

This is all IN ADDITION to them turning on DoH (DNS over HTTP) without permission which nullifies ad blockers.

I've been using Librewolf for quite a time now. Any other recommendations? No reason. Just got brow-curious.

Zen wasn't all that good. Not polished.

You mean Librewolf, of course.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is no Librewolf without Firefox.

You might want to keep looking for better friends. Firefox recently got busted tracking users without their consent

https://noyb.eu/en/firefox-tracks-you-privacy-preserving-feature

With a recent Firefox update, Mozilla seems to have taken a leaf out of Google’s playbook: without directly telling its users, the company has secretly enabled a so-called “Privacy Preserving Attribution” (PPA) feature. Similar to Google’s (failed) Privacy Sandbox, this turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites.

Edit: i am not saying that Firefox is bad. I just wouldn't call it a friend, let alone a best friend

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well, when there's only really 2 friends available, and the other options are just those guys in different hats...

That's the definition of browser monopoly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah it's a pretty shite situation all around. Will be interesting to follow the US DOJ ruling on the split-up of Google.

Didn't Firefox sell to Google recently or something like that?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

no. they do get money to put google as one of default search engine. but IMO that's fine for now, as they need money somehow. And librewolf, for those who take it seriously.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

They get sponsored to be the default search engine. Firefox developers cost money and being non-profit relies on dontations and sponsorship
