Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon
-
I was on the verge of deleting everything online, including my email address, because I'm with you, but at what point does the privacy movement start intruding on enjoyment of daily activity. I've accepted that my information will be had in exchange for a good product.
It's not exactly how I want to operate, but also, life is too short. Ultimately, I'm on the verge of using Mullvad Browser, Mullvad VPN, and probably getting my email hosted out of some small shared hosting platform somewhere.
I think about this type of stuff daily and it's just exhausting. The Internet has transformed into what we'd hoped it wouldn't over the past five years.

I'll be moving to https://github.com/schizofox/schizofox on my x86 machines.
Mobile will be a fork of Firefox.
https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird is a project I'm keeping an eye on, will be a while off being a daily driver.

Firefox sync is E2EE too (or at least can be, mine is)
-
i think you can have it sync to a self hosted server, also an option.
-
AFAIK the sync is end to end encrypted
-
(Encryption over radio is illegal in many jurisdictions tho...
️)Unless the police do it.
-
I just switched to Bitwarden for passwords
-
What's the best alternative? This doesn't sound great.....
-
That's the best free option, and possibly best option overall. I've been with them for about five years now and it's been great.

You can, but the last time I did that the instructions were incomplete, and you still had to auth through Mozilla. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed since then.

It's not just March 14th, it's also our next lunar eclipse, peak eclipse at about 1:59am...
3.14159
I set alarms in my watch months ago, before ever learning how that date is also going to affect technology and security certificates and shit.
I do hope the weather will be nice early that morning to be able to see the π lunar eclipse at least.

because US capital decided so. notice that the limits the EU has are slowly being undermined.

Yes, Mozilla sync is encrypted, but your account data is sended to Alphabet (Google) and tracked by googleanalytics and google-tagmanager.
-
Yes, Google can decide what goes in it, but because it's FOSS, any other can decide what to delete from it. The power of Google isn't Chromium, but the Chrome Store, it's services, and all Websites which use Google APIs. Vivaldi has less relations with Google than Mozilla/Firefox, it don't have third party investors or sponsors, like Mozilla, which depends on Google ads and money and recently also from another advertising company, loosing it's independence with it.
-
I wasn't talking about putting stuff in, I was talking about removing it. You say it's open source, but google decides what contributions are added to the main repo. Even if you fork it, if it's not in upstream, it won't be used.
Jpegxl is a really cool image format that google hates for some reason. Every major company wanted chrome to support it, amazon, facebook, etc. but google said no, and guess what, no one can do anything about it. If you use blink you're a slave to google.

Because they got a fucking licence
Us plebs don't have the privilage
-
Gnome web is also decent but not great for power users. It's based on Webkit.

i can suggest ironfox, the fork of mull for android
-
Why why why don't they just do like Wikipedia or the Internet Archive does and just come out and ask for donations instead of trying to sneak all this advertising shit into things?
