[–] Lukecis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Fr, people need to stop the lies that firefox itself is a privacy respecting browser, which it isnt- not since it was bought out years back. LibreWolf and Mullvad are great examples of Firefox Forks that are ACTUALLY privacy focused browsers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Woedenaz@lemmy.fmhy.ml 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) Bought out? Firefox was never bought out by anyone. What are you talking about? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lukecis@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) My bad, bought out was the wrong way to word it- I should have said "Made partnerships with-" then listed Google and Yahoo(defunct), China and Russia. If you watch this video discussing how privacy respect firefox is by default- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls you'll see the telemetry they collect is miles long and Firefox is no better at protecting your privacy than Chrome/Chromium is whatsoever. Definitely recommend Librewolf or Mullvad, which are actual privacy respecting browsers, even Chromium forks like Brave are better than default firefox. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 1 point 3 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
