Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

VIvaldi is cool, but its not open source. If you worry about the trustworthiness of you browser, picking an open source one would be best IMO. Among the chromium-based, there are chromium itself, brave, ...

I'm in a doomer mindset.
We will wait and see.
I was around at the start of librewolf, came from what is now arkenfox.
I had to discover numerous (new) prefs these projects didn't cover, which were later added to them.
They are great efforts, don't get me wrong.
Even if the problem were just prefs, catching up to firefox development takes people's free time. Librewolf doesn't even handle (much) code. -
Google really needs to be broken up. They've become the Ma Bell of the internet.

Whatever the 2006-2007 days were.

Ahhh that makes sense hahaha.
The issues I was running into I’m SURE stemmed from having a bloated profile, so I could have fixed them by clearing my profile out, or reinstalling (probably.) video on my partner’s computer (our main entertainment machine) would only play in Private Mode for some reason. Hanime wouldn’t play anything at all, the site was bugged out. Many pages displayed super weird on their machine, too. My computer had some video playing issues but I didn’t run into pages displaying strangely.

Yep. It stinks. We'll see if it was just a fart and it'll go away or if they crapped and we'll have to jump ship.

Maybe we should all throw some kind of support behind https://ladybird.org/ with an eye to the future.
That project isn’t problematic for some reason I haven’t heard about, is it?
(Problematic other than web browsers being gigantic pieces of software, and ladybrid itself not even being in alpha yet)

So sad. I have used Firefox since 2006. Today I removed it for good from all of my devices. So long old friend. I cant wait for Ladybird to release.

what is your current open source / FOSS alternative?
-
but all of those taste better with free beer
-
Ok so I don't have to change browsers?
-
Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.
-
COVID-denier, too.
-
Hm. Reading further in the article and since its not the first no-no.. I have doubts.
-
I haven't been presented with any Ts and C's. Do they apply if I already installed Firefox before this?
-
Another decade and we'll be back inside libraries, let's stock up on epubs while we still have internet browsing.
