Look at this chud video here.
It’s just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a “license” to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it’s called might be a better option. There’s also Zen browser.
I got this in my YouTube feed and didn’t know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I’m not sure what to believe. Wish they didn’t have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a “license” to all your data?
I guess that’s like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did…
Ignoring the probably worthless chud video, the actual problem that there is uproar about is that firefox has now introduced a terms of service, which appears to walk back their old statement of “we will never sell your data”
Firefox was the browser of choice for people who were moderately privacy conscious but not enough to go to a restrictive browser
There are some good firefox forks which are not subject to mozilla’s decisions, like waterfox which i am currently using
I used to use Waterfox for a while until they got bought by System1 (a yankee-based ad company). Librewolf is probably the best option. GNU Icecat is also pretty good if you’re on Linux.
I’m really appreciating librewolf, right now.
And Zen browser, I hope.
But I will try Waterfox.
I’ve been having fun with Zen Browser but I’m not too sure how privacy friendly it is, there isn’t a lot of discussion about it right now and I’m not very good at researching these things on my own.
Fair.
