Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic
-
Switched yesterday, feeling right at home so far.
-
sorry i did try to pretend McKinsey doesn't exist. First I heard of them was pete butigieg.
Look, being gay and married is the most pro family values position conceivable
-
I can't remember the details, but if I remember correctly, Firefox used to get a lot of cut from hosting Google's ad. But Google cut that deal and Firefox lost 90% of its revenue as a result. That's why I can't blame Firefox for doing what they are doing at the moment.
Us users want services for free but we can't have our cake and eat them in the current paradigm of the internet. That's why we have to think outside the box and I advocate for a publicly funded internet. It is the same model as NPR and BBC and that is why they have little to no ads unlike private broadcasters. The same principle should be applied to the Internet if we want to keep using it for free.

browser is ??? you want that g chrome reaching down your throat?
-
chrome is a better browser because it's compliant
-
I installed Librewolf despite being a furry that loves foxes and it legit fixed every Firefox issue I had. But they were all local issues.
-
Brave did have some bad habits (and i think still has) so personally i would not trust them with my data. You could look for a firefox based browser like Zen (the most beautyful of them all) or stick to any other privacy first chromium based like vivaldi or mullvad.
The general rule: the less features, the more privacy
And if features are needed there are addons -
If only hahaha
-
Nice, what issues?
TBH I was tempted to try IceCat first because of the name (I’m not a furry but I do think cats are cool). But no official binaries and I’m already running enough custom-compiled software, thing I need least is for my browser to be like that too haha
-
What has your choice of browser(s) been throughout the past decade?
-
Yup I'll be sticking with Firefox forks.. Unfortunately i have to keep a chrome install around because i can't get alternative browsers to do redirects for PayPal
-
Have you tried "un-googled chromium"? Should work pretty much the same as regular chromium in that regard...
Or even just a good old fashioned user agent switcher?
-
Lol Brave... Ok
-
Switched to librewolf the other day, and it's great
-
On ok, so a completely pointless comment. Got it.
At least everyone here knows you switched before then though! Or something!
-
+1 for agent switcher
-
"Worshipping"? What online spaces have you been frequenting??
-
Yeah, I think it would be very fucking easy to say "we don't sell your data" by any definition... Literally all you need to do is not fucking sell people's data
