Firefox has telemetry settings built-in which you can switch off. LibreWolf strips the telemetry options away and focuses on obfuscating your browser fingerprint. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah it's just that I feel like if someone is still using freaking Chrome in 2024 then asking them to use something even more obscure than FF might be a bridge too far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sealhaslupus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago LibreWolf is just a fork of Firefox (one of many) which tries to improve its privacy features. I am not asking anyone to use this, just merely offering an alternate option. Everyone who accesses the internet has used a browser. What makes a difference for the average user is the GUI and UX. If you use vanilla Firefox and don’t tweak the settings, often your DNS will be resolved by either Google, Cloudflare or your ISP. There is no perfect solution, only optimal ones. permalink fedilink source parent
