      With F-droid you trust F-droid to build the binary from the developers' source code

      Not when using a self-hosted F-Droid Repo - which is the case for Ironfox.

        No GDPR does not require google to display app permissions like that...

        Your just making things up.

            I've been pretty happy with it as my casual web search browser, putting all my social media on a different browser. And it's in F-Droid, so that always feels good.

                Do you? Because made up satistics are still made up.

                This is how misinformation starts.

                    Have you read all the other replies? "Google mad", "Google putting Firefox in the dirt", "False info", etc.

                      No. Maybe don't just take something that someone you've never met on the internet said might be true as fact? Maybe you should fucking Google it.

                      I mean seriously, the tone of my comment was pretty clear. Do you really need me to explain the connotations of "probably," and "everything good comes from it"?

                      I make an off hand comment that is clearly not an attempt to be informative, and you come in all aggressive. Chill the fuck out.

                              Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. It’s more commonly used in crypto communities.

                                I'm not saying your doing it intentionally.

                                Bur it is how it starts.

                                Edit the person I replied to didn't use probably. Then you came in with a probably statement. That's how miss information starts. People supporting bullshit with "probably"

                                    I personally don't want there to be only one browser engine - Chrome. All other browsers use their engine, or the one powering Firefox. That's actually my main concern. I don't know about you, but Chromium being the only web browser in the world is pretty fuckin scary.

                                      Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.

                                        It has a mozilla telemetry component, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily reporting to mozilla - which wouldn't make much sense anyway - nor that it actually functions at all. Most telemetry components in Firefox can't simply be deleted because it causes stuff to break, so they are replaced with stubs that don't actually do anything.
